How to approach this question
Operating Profit Margin = (Operating Profit / Revenue) * 100. Use draft net profit as operating profit.
Full Answer
Operating Profit Margin = (Operating Profit / Revenue) * 100.
Margin = ($850,000 / $4,000,000) * 100 = 21.25% = 21.3%.
Common mistakes
Calculating Gross Profit Margin instead of Operating Profit Margin.
