    You must surely have an answer in the same book in which you found the question (I assume you are using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers, as you should be doing). So in future please ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain 🙂

    It will be the return on capital employed that is 15% (not the capital employed!!).

    The return on capital employed = assets turnover x profit margin

    Therefore 15% = 2 x profit margin

    So the profit margin = 15/2 = 7.5%

    This is all explained in my free lectures on ‘financial performance measurement’. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    I do not know why you are posting this under a thread headed up ‘ratios’ because it has nothing to do with ratios!!!

    Paper FMA is the same as Paper MA, and you can find lectures covering the whole syllabus linked from the main Paper MA page.
