1 | ROI for this year | 20.0% |
2 | ROI for the new product line by itself | 16.0% |
3 | ROI for next year | 19.2% |
Computations:
1. ROI = Net operating income /Divisional average operating assets = $800000/$4000000 = 20.0%
2. Net operating income = Sales - Variable expenses - Fixed expenses = $2000000 - (60% x $2000000) - $640000 = $160000
Average net operating assets = $1000000
ROI = $160000/$1000000 = 16.0%
3. Total net operating income = $800000 + $160000 = $960000
Average operating assets = $4000000 + $1000000 = $5000000
ROI = $960000/$5000000 = 19.2%
4. Reject
The new product line should be rejected since it would decrease the divisions ROI from 20% to 19.20%
5. Adding the new line would increase the company's overall ROI.
Headquarters is anxious to add the new product line since it has a ROI of 16% which is higher than the current overall ROI of 15% and would thus increase the company's overall ROI.

2 | 1000000 | 160000 | 12% | 120000 | 40000 |
3 | 5000000 | 960000 | 12% | 600000 | 360000 |
