1. 45.5%

2. 13.3%

3. 7.2%

Explanation:

The formulas and calculations are shown below:

1. Gross margin = (Sales - cost of sales) ÷ (sales) × 100

                          = ($10.1 million - $5.5 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

                          =  ($4.6 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

                          = 45.5%

Gross profit = Sales - cost of sales

2. Operating margin = (Gross profit - selling, general and administrative expenses - research and development - annual depreciation charges) ÷ (sales) × 100

= ($4.6 million -  $460,000 or $0.46 million - $1.4 million - $1.4 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= ($1.34 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= 13.3%

Operating income = Gross profit - selling, general and administrative expenses - research and development - annual depreciation charges

3. Net profit margin = (Operating income - taxes) ÷ (sales) × 100

= ($1.34 million - $0.6097 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= ($0.7303 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= 7.2%

The income tax expense =  Operating income × income tax rate

                                          = $1.34 million × 45.5%

                                           = $0.6097 million
