1. Last year's Return on investment = Net operating income ÷ Average operating assets = $966,000 ÷ $7,000,000 = 13.8%
2. The return on investment for this year's investment opportunity is:
Return on investment = Net operating income ÷ Average operating assets = $192,000 ÷ $1,200,000 = 16.0%
3. If the company pursues the investment opportunity and otherwise performs the same as last year, the return on investment will be:
Net operating income = $966,000 + $192,000 = $1,158,000
Average operating assets = $7,000,000 + $1,200,000 = $8,200,000
Return on investment = Net operating income ÷ Average operating assets = $1,158,000 ÷ $8,200,000 = 14.1%
4. The chief executive officer would pursue the investment opportunity because it increases the overall return on investment. The owners of the company would want the chief executive officer to pursue the investment opportunity because its return on investment is greater than the company's minimum required rate of return.
2. The return on investment for this year's investment opportunity is:
Return on investment = Net operating income ÷ Average operating assets = $192,000 ÷ $1,200,000 = 16.0%3. If the company pursues the investment opportunity and otherwise performs the same as last year, the return on investment will be:
Net operating income = $966,000 + $192,000 = $1,158,000
Average operating assets = $7,000,000 + $1,200,000 = $8,200,000
Return on investment = Net operating income ÷ Average operating assets = $1,158,000 ÷ $8,200,000 = 14.1%
