Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


Revised Operating Income


Sales = 2735000

Less Variable Expenses = 2735000*.45 = 1230750

Contribution = 1504250

Less Fixed Cost = 1270000

Net Operating Income = 234250


Actual Simple Rate of Return = Net Operating Income/Initial Investment = 234250/2975000*100 = 7.87%


Answer is 7.87%.


Thanks.
