Answer:
1. Her return on investment is 20%
2. $40,000
Explanation:
1. We have Return on Investment = Net income from the Investment / The invested amount.
The net income is clearly stated in the Question which is the after-tax profit at $20,000.
The invested amount of Amelia is the amount she invested in Goodies Gift Shop which is illustrated as net worth ( owner's equity) at $100,000 in the Balance Sheet (Year 2).
As we have Return on Investment = 20,000/100,000 = 20%
2. We have the projected pre-tax profit = Projected margin - total overhead = 250K - 200K = $50,000
The after-tax profit = pre-tax profit x (1- tax rate) = 50K x (1-20%) = $40,000
