Gross profit margin = 45%

Net income = $13,500

Net profit margin = 5%

Explanation:

Net sales = $270,000.

Gross profit = $121,500

Operating expenses = $108,000

Gross profit margin = (Gross profit : net sales) * 100

Gross profit margin = $ (121,500 : 270,000) * 100

Gross profit margin = 0.45 * 100 = 45%

Net income for March:

Gross profit - Total expenses

$121,500 - $108,000 = $13,500

Net profit margin:

(Net profit : net sales) * 100

(13500 : 270,000) * 100

Net profit margin = 5%
