Question

Fitness Fanatics is a regional chain of health clubs. The managers of the clubs, who have authority to make investments as needed, are evaluated based largely on return on investment (ROI). The company's Springfield Club reported the following results for the past year:
Sales $750,000
Net operating income $15,000
Average operating assets $100,000

Required:
Compute the Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI).

Answer 1

Answer:

The Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI) is 15%.

Explanation:

Return on investment (ROI) can be computed as the ratio of the net operating income to average operating assets as expressed in percentage as follows:

ROI = Net operating income / Average operating assets .............. (1)

Where, for Fitness Fanatics, we have:

Net operating income = $15,000

Average operating assets = $100,000

Substituting this into equation (1), we have:

ROI = $15,000 / $100,000 = 0.15, or 15%

Therefore, the Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI) is 15%.
