The March 29, 2012, edition of the Wall Street Journal Online contains an article by Miguel Bustillo entitled, "Best Buy Forced to Rethink Big Box." The article explains how the 1,100 giant stores, which enabled Best Buy to obtain its position as the largest retailer of electronics, are now reducing the company's profitability and even threatening its survival. The problem is that many customers go to Best Buy stores to see items but then buy them for less from online retailers. As a result, Best Buy recently announced that it would close 50 stores and switch to smaller stores. However, some analysts think that these changes are not big enough. Suppose the following data were extracted from the 2022 and 2017 annual reports of Best Buy. (All amounts are in millions.) Total assets at year-end Net sales Net income 2022 (b) $17,849 50,272 1,277 2021 $18,302 Using the data above, answer the following questions. 2017 $11,864 30,848 1,140 2016 $10,294 Compute the profit margin, asset turnover, and return on assets for 2022 and 2017. (Round all percentages to 1 decimal places, e.g. 15.1% and asset turnover ratio to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.21.)
