Also calculate marketing ROI

In 2013, Company A reported profits of about $8 billion on sales of $37 billion. For that same period, Company B posted a profit of about $208 million on sales of $3.2 billion. So Company A is a better marketer, right? Sales and profits provide information to compare the profitability of these two competitors, but between these numbers is information regarding the efficiency of marketing efforts in creating those sales and profits. Using the following information from the companies' incomes statements (all numbers are in thousands), calculate profit margin, net marketing contribution, marketing return on sales (or marketing ROS), and marketing return on investment (or marketing ROl) for both companies. Which company is performing better?
