Answer:

a. Division A = 5.80 %, Division B = 8.95 %

b. Division B is superior. Because, it generates a greater profit margin per each sale made.

Explanation:

a. Compute the profit margins

Profit margin = Profit / Sales × 100

Division A = $134,000 / $2,310,000 × 100

                 = 5.80 % (2 decimal places.)

Division B = $33,400 / $373,000 × 100

                 = 8.95 % (2 decimal places.)

b. Based on the profit margins

Division B is superior as it generates a greater profit margin per each sale made.
