In the answer it says …… operating margin of 2.3%. Then
The catering business would show a loss of $39m. I couldn’t understand how it is calculated from the given data.
Thank you for your kind explanation in advance.

Rev 245 x Current op margin of 6.5% = 15.925 = op profit
If the cost od reorganisation of 55 (note 6) had been charged against this, then the loss would be
15.925 – 55 = 39.075.
Dear Ken Garrett,
Thank you so much for your swift replay and clear explanation how to reach that figure.
