Profit margin ratio=Operating incomeNet sales×100=$60,000$1,000,000×100=6%

3Step 3: Computation of asset turnover ratio

Asset turnover ratio=Net salesAverage total assets=$1,000,000$400,000=2.5 times

4Step 4: Computation of return on investment

Return on investment=Operating incomeAverage total assets×100=$60,000$400,000×100=15%

5Step 5: Computation of residual income
