Based on the visualization you created, answer the following questions:

What is the Big Store$$s return on assets in $($a$)2012$ and $($b$)2021?$

What is the Discount Goods$$s return on assets in $($a$)2012$ and $($b$)2021?$

To help determine why the relative profitability of the two companies has shifted over the ten$-$year period and to get a better company$-$to$-$company comparison, drag the second "pill": $($Year Dimension$)$ to the left of the "pill": $($Company Dimension in the text chart$).$

The return on assets is a result of the profit margin and the asset turnover. Demonstrate this for Big Store in $2021$ by showing that the profit margin times the asset turnover equals return on assets.

Analyzing the asset turnover ratios over the ten$-$year period, is Big Store$$s asset turnover $($a$)$ generally increasing, $($b$)$ roughly the same, or $($c$)$ generally decreasing from year to year?

Analyzing the asset turnover ratios over the ten$-$year period, is Discount Goods$$ turnover $($a$)$ generally increasing, $($b$)$ roughly the same, or $($c$)$ generally decreasing from year to year?

As of $2021,$ which company reports a more favorable return on assets and is this primarily attributable to its asset turnover or profit margin?
