Investment Center Sales Income Average Invested Assets Electronics $ 40,500,000 $ 2,916,000 $ 16,200,000 Sporting goods 20,740,000 2,074,000 12,200,000 1. Compute return on investment for each department. Using return on investment, which department is most efficient at using assets to generate returns for the company

Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the return on investment is shown below;

We know that

Return on Investment is

= (Net Income ÷ Average Operating Assets] × 100

For Electronics

= [$29,16,000 ÷ 162,00,000] × 100

= 18%

And,

For Sporting goods

= [$20,74,000 ÷ 122,00,000] × 100

= 17%

So here the electronics department should be selected as it has high return on investment
