Describe operating profit margin and asset turnover, and explain how each of these ratios can be used to help division managers improve RIO.
According to Heisinger & Hoyle (2012), operating profit margin is the percentage of operating revenue to sales revenue. However, it delivers the information with regards to how much operating profit is generated from each sale. It also indicates profitability and is often used to compare the profitability of companies and industries of different sizes. Therefore, it is calculated in using the following formula as
Operating Profit Margin = Operating / Sales.
The operating margin is useful in deciding the ROI of an investment by using the profitability to identify the effectiveness of an investment or rather several investments. That is meant how effectively the resources and assets have been applied, and how much revenue and expenses have been contributed to resources for primary operations. In addition to this, the operating profit margin ratio enables division managers to recognize how to calculate working capital, cost control, as well as pricing strategy and the outcome, which is a rise in management's ROI (Heisinger & Hoyle, 2012).
on the other hand, an asset turnover is a financial ratio that measures the efficacy of how an organization utilizes it assets in generating sales revenue to the organization. Furthermore, "the financial ratio offers information about how much revenue that each dollar invested in average operating assets produces" (Heisinger & Hoyle, 2012). Therefore, the ratio can be calculated as:
Assets Turnover = Sales Revenue / Average Capital Assets.
In addition, another significant way that division managers could improve return on investment (ROI) is by increasing sales revenue and reducing their expenses. This is an imperative to note that a company can intensify its sales revenue by returning its current sales prices, and increasing its sales volume (Rice University, n.d).

For CVP analysis calculations, which of the following statements is correct?
A. In target profit calculations, sales revenue is less than total costs.
B. CVP analysis relies on our knowledge of cost function to express relationships among costs, sales volume, and profit.
OC. A company's sales mix is ultimately determined by the management of a company.
D. The Break-even point is the point at which operating income is greater than $0.
O E.

higher fixed costs.

APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Target income (sales revenue)
Another useful method for figuring out the type of performance your company will need to reach a target income is by using sales revenue. Rather than using the number of units, this method uses total sales revenue. In companies for which the total set of goods produced and sold is more varied, this would be the preferred method, as opposed to a business in which only one product is sold. Assume a company has pricing and cost information as follows:
Price and Cost Information
Amount
Selling Price per Unit
$30
Variable Cost per Unit
$15
Total Fixed Cost
$15,000
For the upcoming period, the company wishes to generate operating income of $40,000. Given the cost and pricing structure for the company’s product, how much sales revenue must it generate to attain its target income?

Return on investment (ROI) is computed in the following manner: ROI is equal to turnover multiplied by earnings as a percent of sales. Turnover is sales divided by total investment. Total investment is current
assets (inventories, accounts receivable, and cash) plus fixed assets. Earnings equal sales minus the cost of sales. The cost of sales consists of variable production costs, selling expenses, freight and delivery,
and administrative costs. Complete parts a and b.

Understanding the relationships in the expanded contribution margin model may be the singlemost important concept developed in managerial accounting. The model presented here provides a structure for explaining, in a consistent manner, the effect on operating income of changesin selling price, variable expenses, fixed expenses, or the volume of activity. As you study theseexamples, you will notice that four relationships are constantly interacting with one another:1. Revenue −Variable expenses 5 Contribution margin.2. Contribution margin / Revenue 5 Contribution margin ratio.3. Total contribution margin depends on the volume of activity.4. Contribution margin must cover fixed expenses before an operating income is earned.Your goals are to identify these relationships in every cost–volume–profit question and appreciatetheir interaction as a way of thinking that becomes second nature for you. Once you can visualize thisinteraction of these relationships, you are well on your way to…
