The performance index is calculated by dividing the average revenue per sale by the cost of sales per sale. From the data given, we can calculate the performance index for each region as follows:
North: $200/$150 = 1.33
South: $150/$125 = 1.20
East: $300/$200 = 1.50
West: $250/$175 = 1.43

Therefore, the East region has the highest performance index of 1.50.
