Operating Profit Margin
The proportion of revenue that is left over as operational profit after operating expenditures are subtracted is known as the operating profit margin, which is a financial statistic used to evaluate a company's profitability; "(it) measures how much profit a company makes on a dollar of sales after paying for variable costs of production, such as wages and raw materials, but before paying interest or tax" (Hayes, 2023). It shows how well a business makes money from its primary activities.
Asset Turnover
A financial ratio called asset turnover assesses how well a business uses its assets to produce income. It evaluates how well a company turns a profit on all of its assets; "the ratio compares the dollar amount of sales or revenues to
the company's total assets to measure the efficiency of the company's operations" (CFI Team, 2023).
Division managers can utilize asset turnover and operational profit margin as
key metrics to increase return on investment (ROI). Here are some applications for each ratio:
Operating Profit Margin:
Division managers might concentrate on raising revenue, cutting operating costs, or doing both in order to improve operating
profit margin. Managers can find areas where cost reductions can be achieved without sacrificing the quality of their products or services by dissecting the components of operational expenditures. They can also look for ways to boost sales, such as price optimization, low-cost advertising campaigns, or innovative product or service development. Division managers
may raise the profitability of their division and eventually result in a greater return on investment by optimizing the operational profit margin.
Asset Turnover:
Division managers may increase asset turnover by maximizing how assets are used to produce income. They are able to determine whether assets are underused or non-performing by analyzing the
composition of the assets. Managers can guarantee that assets are producing
the most income by improving asset allocation and usage. They can assess the necessity of extra inventory, unused machinery, or underutilized spaces, for instance. Division managers may increase income from the same amount of assets by increasing asset turnover, which raises ROI.
In conclusion, division managers may pinpoint opportunities for increased profitability and asset usage in their divisions by utilizing operating profit margin and asset turnover ratios. Managers may improve the return on investment (ROI) of their division and help to guarantee the overall success of
the company.
