Expert Solution
Step 1

Asset turnover ratio is the ratio of Net Sales divided by the amount of average assets invested. This ratio indicates that how efficiently business assets are being used to generate revenues.

Asset turnover ratio = Net Sales/ Average Total Assets

Profit margin is the ratio of net profit earned with respect to revenues.

Profit margin = Net Income/Sales
