Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
  Net operating income = $456,000 + $107,100 = $563,100 Sales = $5,700,000 + $1,530,000 = $7,230,000 Margin = Net operating income ÷ Sales = $563,100 ÷ $7,230,000 = 7.8% Net operating income = $456,000 + $107,100 = $563,100
Sales = $5,700,000 + $1,530,000 = $7,230,000
Margin = Net operating income ÷ Sales = $563,100 ÷ $7,230,000 = 7.8%
