    Return on assets (ROA) = Operating profit / Assets x 100

    10 = Operating profit / $220m x 100

    10 x $220m = 100 x operating profit

    $2,200m = 100 x operating profit

    Operating profit = $2.200m/100

    Operating profit = $22m

    Operating profit margin = Operating profit/Sales x 100

    = $22/$135 x 100

    = 16.30%

    Explanation:

    In this question, we need to calculate the operating profit using return on asset formula as shown above. Operating profit becomes the subject of the formula. Then, we will calculate operating profit margin by dividing the operating profit by sales multiplied by 100.
