2. Reduce variable costs by $155,000.
3. Reduce average operating assets by 5%.

Action 1 | % | ||
Action 2 | % | ||
Action 3 | % |
Controllable margin = 2950000-1947000-605000 = 398000
a) ROI = Controllable margin/Average operating assets = 398000/5000000 = 7.96%
b) Calculate ROI under following situation
