    The correct option is d. None of the answers is correct.

    Explanation:

    Margin : The margin denotes the ratio between net operating income and sales so that the we know how much the company is earning profit during a particular year.

    So,

    The formula to calculate the margin = Net operating income : Sales

    Based on the given information which is mentioned in the question:

    The western Division margin = Net operating income : Sales

    = $15,000 : $ 150,000

    = 0.1

    The eastern Division margin = Net operating income : Sales

    = $ 16,500 : $300,000

    = 0.055

    Since, by considering above calculations, we get to know that the western division margin has higher margin than eastern division margin by 0.045

    Therefore, the correct option is d. None of the answers is correct
