a. You calculate Return on Assets (ROA) and find it to be 5.39% based on net income (available to common stockholders) of $350,000 and total assets of $6,500,000. You dig further and find that sales were $10,000,000. What does this information tell you about the company’s net profit margin and total asset turnover? Provide values to support your assessment.?

b. You are responsible for analyzing and quantifying cost and schedule performance on an Agile life cycle development project. During planning for the first sprint, the development team decided on a sprint duration of 15 days and estimated they could complete 30 story points during the sprint. The development teams consists of five people with an aggregate daily cost of $500. Assume this is the daily sprint cost.

Note: Story points represent about equal amounts of work and are a way of estimating the scope of a product backlog item based on size and complexity. A large and/or complex product backlog item is worth more story points than a smaller and/or less complex product backlog item.

At the end of 10 days, the development team has completed only 17 story points. What is the equivalent EVM Schedule Variance (SV), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), Cost Variance (CV), and Cost Performance Index (CPI)?
