Explanation / Answer

The required table is as below:

Particulars

2015

2014

Total revenues

$116,199

$112,640

Cost of goods sold (aggregate of operating expenses)

$112,575

$109,420

Gross profit (Operating income)

$3,624

$3,220

Net income

$2,377

$2,058

Gross profit margin of 2015 = (Gross profit / Net sales) × 100

                                              = ($3,624 / $116,199) × 100

                                              = 3.1%

Gross profit margin of 2014 = (Gross profit / Net sales) × 100

                                              = ($3,220 / $112,640) × 100

                                              = 2.9%

Net profit margin of 2015 = (Net profit / Net sales) × 100

                                           = ($2,377 / $116,199) × 100

                                           = 2%

Net profit margin of 2016 = (Net profit / Net sales) × 100

                                           = ($2,058 / $112,640) × 100

                                           = 1.8%
