The average price of a gallon of gas in 2015 dropped $0.94 (28 percent) from $3.34 in 2014 (to $2.40 in 2015). Let's see whether these changes are reflected in the income statement of Insignia Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2015 (amounts in billions).

Assuming that the change from 2014 to 2015 is the beginning of a sustained trend, is Insignia likely to earn more or less gross profit from each dollar of sales in 2016? 2. Compute the net profit margin for each year.

Insignia reported average net fixed assets of $250 billion in 2015 and $170 billion in 2014. Compute the fixed asset turnover ratios for both years.
