Farzana: Please do not answer in the Ask the Tutor Forum Vicki: Farzana is correct in that if the RI is positive them we accept. It is because the investment of 200,000 is earning 30,000, which is more than the interest cost of 200,000 x 12% = 24,000. RI is simply checking whether or not the investment is earning more than the cost of money of (in this case) 12%. If it is earning more then the RI will be positive and we accept; if it is earning less then the RI will be negative and we reject.

I would like to ask, if the ROI and RI compare which one is better? Why? Thank you.

It is not a question of one being better - there is no 'best' one. It depends what we are doing with it. If you watch the lecture I explain this and talk about the advantages and disadvantages.
