\text { Asset base } & \$ 500,000 \
\text { Sales revenues } & \$ 725,000 \
\text { Expenses } & \$ 662,500
\end{array}$$
Required:
A. What is the margin, turnover, and ROI for the Northern Division?
B. The Northern Division has an option to make an additional investment that would add $100,000 to the asset base. It would generate an additional $50,000 in sales revenue and no additional expenses. What would be the effect on margin, turnover, and ROI?
