1. Consider the following calculations

2. Manager of New South Wales division is doing better.

Explanation:

1.  Queensland division

Margin = Net operating income/Sales

= 71,610/1,302,000

= 5.5%

Turnover = Sales/Average operating assets

= 1,302,000/620,000

= 2.1

ROI = Margin x Turnover

= 5.5% x 2.1

= 11.55%

New South Wales division

Margin = Net operating income/Sales

= 61,100/2,444,000

= 2.5%

Turnover = Sales/Average operating assets

= 2,444,000/520,000

= 4.7

ROI = Margin x Turnover

= 2.5% x 4.7

= 11.75%

2.  Since return on investment (ROI) of New South Wales division is more than return on investment (ROI) of Queensland division, thus it can be concluded that manager of New South Wales division is doing better.

no, a company likes to look at potential employees that are professional, well mannered, clean, honest, etc. don't show up looking/acting like a clown. (unless that's your job xd) hope this ! =^-^=

no u can still get a job there u just have to be determined.
