Sales $ 1,400,000 Variable expenses 680,000 Contribution margin 720,000 Fixed expenses 440,000 Net operating income $ 280,000 Average operating assets $ 875,000Explanation / Answer
1.
a) Margin = Net operating income/Sales
= 280,000 / 1400000
= 20%
b)
Last year’s turnover is:
Turnover = Sales / Average operating assets
=1400000 / 875,000
= 1.6
c) Last year’s return on investment (ROI) is:
ROI = Margin * Turnover
= 20% * 1.6
= 32%
d) The margin for this year’s investment opportunity is:
Margin = Net operating income / Sales
= 48000 / 480000
= 10%
2.
a) The turnover for this year’s investment opportunity is:
Turnover = Sales / Average operating assets
= $480,000 / $300,000
= 1.6
b) The ROI for this year’s investment opportunity is:
ROI = Margin * Turnover
= 10% * 1.6
= 16%
3.
If the company pursues the investment opportunity, this year’s margin would be:
Margin = Net operating income / Sales
= ($280,000 + $48,000) / ($1,400,000 + $480,000 )
= $328,000 / $1,880,000
= 17.45%
4.
If the company pursues the investment opportunity, this year’s turnover would be:
Turnover = Sales / Average operating assets
= ($1,400,000 + $480,000) / ($875,000 + $300,000)
= $1,880,000 / $1,175,000
= 1.60
