Respuesta :

Answer:

Operating Margin = EBT / Sales * 100

EBT = EBITA –Amortization - Interest

EBT = $1,611 - $0 - $219

EBT = $1,392

Operating Margin = 1,392 / 16,983 * 100

Operating Margin = 8.2%

Debt to Book Capitalization = Debt / Books Capitalization

Books Capitalization = Debt + Equity + Non Current Deferred tax Liabilities

Books Capitalization = $3,167 + $871 + $554

Books Capitalization = $4,592

Debt to Book Capitalization = 3,167 / 4,592

Debt to Book Capitalization = 69.0%
