Final answer:
To calculate the return on investment (ROI), divide the net operating income by the average invested assets. In this case, the ROI is 20%. Option C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the return on investment (ROI), we need to divide the net operating income by the average invested assets.
Net operating income = Total revenue - Total expenses (excluding interest and taxes).
ROI = Net operating income / Average invested assets.
First, we calculate the average invested assets: ($300,000 + $400,000) / 2 = $350,000.
Then, we calculate the ROI: $70,000 / $350,000 = 0.2 or 20%.
Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 20%.
To calculate the return on investment (ROI) for Macey, Inc., we need to use the formula:
ROI = (Net Operating Income / Average Invested Assets) × 100%
The average invested assets can be found by taking the sum of the assets at the beginning and the end of the year and dividing by two:
Average Invested Assets = ($300,000 + $400,000) / 2 = $350,000
Now we can compute the ROI:
ROI = ($70,000 / $350,000) × 100% = 20%
Therefore, the correct answer is c) 20%.
