Nordstrom: Profit margin=354/14,757=2.4%; Asset turnover=14,757/7,858=1.9; Leverage=7,858/870=9.0; ROE=2.4%×1.9×9.0=40.7%

Walmart: Profit margin=13,643/485,873=2.8%; Asset turnover=485,873/198,825=2.4; Leverage=198,825/77,798=2.6; ROE=2.8%×2.4×2.6=17.5%

Profitability Ratios

Profit margin: The fraction of each sales dollar realized as profits

Return on assets: The combined effect of profit margin and asset turnover

Breakeven Sales

Use gross margin to calculate Hasbro’s breakeven sales volume

Assume COGS are variable and operating expenses are fixed.

Hasbro’s 2016 operating costs were $1,968 million.

Since 56% of sales goes to cover operating costs, breakeven sales volume = $1,968/0.56 = $3,514 million.
