Answer:
9.6%
Explanation:
Tennill incorporation has an investment of $1,400,000
Sales is $4,480,000
Fixed expenses is $1,657,600
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin ratio
= 40/100×4,480,000
= 0.4×4,480,000
= 1,792,000
The variable cost can be calculated as follows
=Sales-CM
= 4,480,000-1,792,000
= 2,688,000
Net profit = Sales-Fixed cost-Variable cost
= 4,480,000-(1,657,600+2,688,000)
= 4,480,000-4,345,600
= 134,400
Therefore the ROI can be calculated as follows
= Net profit/investment × 100
= 134,400/1,400,000 × 100
=0.096×100
= 9.6%
Hence the return on investment for this year's investment opportunity considered alone is closest to 9.6%
