Banks can lend up to 90% of money on deposit in the bank to other clients.
The other 10% that the bank does not lend is called the "fractional reserve".

Now, by lending this 90% to a client, the money supply may increase based on the procedure below:
First client deposits 100$ in the bank
Bank lends 90$ to second client who deposits these 90$ in another bank
This other bank lends 81$ from the deposited 90$ to a third client who deposits them in a new bank.
The new bank lends 72.9$ out of these 81$ to a fourth clients who deposits them in a different bank......and so the cycle continues increasing the money supply

Answer:

ROI = net profit / total investment

1. What is the current return on investment (ROI) being realized by your division

ROI = $625,000 / $4,150,000 = 15.06%

2. What would happen to the near-term ROI of your division after adding the effect of the new investment?

ROI = ($625,000 + $50,000) / ($4,150,000 + $550,000) = 14.36%

If you carry out the new project the ROI of your division will decrease.

3. As manager of this division, given your incentive compensation plan, would you be motivated to make the new investment?

Even though the new project's return (9.1%) is considered acceptable by upper management, you will probably reject it since it will decrease your division's total ROI. When managers are assigned bonuses based on certain achievements, reducing your profitability ratio will probably result in no bonus.
