I am away from home until Tuesday and so I do not have the BPP book with me. However on what you have written, there turnover is not $14 - that makes no sense at all. The operating profit is 5 x 1.5M = $7.5M Therefore the profit margin = 7.5/200 = 3.75% ROCE = Asset turnover x profit margin = 10 x 3.75% = 37.5% Are you sure you have copied the question correctly?
