Answer:

Return On Investment = 22.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sales = $750,000

Contribution margin = $150,000

Total direct fixed costs = $90,000

Average total operating assets = $400,000

Find:

Return On Investment if contribution margin increase by $30,000

Computation:

Net operating income = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed costs

Net operating income = [$150,000 + $30,000] - $90,000

Net operating income = $90,000

Return On Investment = [Net operating income / Net operating assets]100

Return On Investment = [90,000 / 400,000]100

Return On Investment = [0.225]100

Return On Investment = 22.5%
