Answer #1

FIRSTLY LETDS DISCUSS THE FORMULAE OF RETURN ON INVESTMENT-

RETURN OF INVESTMENT(ROI) = EARNING BEFORE INTEREST AND TAX(NET OPERATING PROFIT) *100

CAPITAL EMPLOYED (SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY)

IN THIS CASE NET PROFIT WILL BE SALES LESS OPERATING EXPENSES

= $50,000- $48,600

= $1,400

AND CAPITAL EMPLOYED WILL BE $12,500

SO, ROI = 1400/12500*100

= 11.2%

SO FINAL ANSWER WILL BE OPTION B 11.2%
