Answer 1

Answer:

Return n investment = 11.67%

Explanation:

For the division, the return on investment would be the proportion of te investment in assets that is earned as  net income.

This would be determined as follows;

Return n investment = (Net income÷ Operating assets) × 100

Return n investment = 11.67%
