Requirement 2
Net Profit Margin = (Net income / Total Revenue) X100
=61650 /933900 X100
=6.6%
If ERS is able to increase its service revenue by $100,000, what should be the effect on future income
Future Income = 61650 +100000
= $ 161,650
Asuming that there is no increase in Expenditure
Net Profit Margin = (Net income / Total Revenue) X100
=161650 /933900 X100
=17.31%
Additional potential Profit = 100,000)X17.31 %
= $17,310
