At the beginning of 20X2, a division has capital employed, consisting of non-current assets of $2 million (at
net book value) and working capital of $0.2 million. These are expected to earn a profit in 20X2 of $0.5
million, after depreciation of $0.4 million. A new machine will be installed at the beginning of 20X2. It will
cost $0.8 million and will require an additional $0.1 million in working capital. It will add $0.35 million to
divisional profits before deducting depreciation. This machine will have a four-year life and no residual value:
depreciation is by the straight-line method. When calculating ROI, capital employed is taken at its mid-year
value.
What is the expected ROI of the division in 20X2?
21.7%
23.2%
24.1%
26.0%
sir i dont understand the calculation of the capital employed at the end of the 20X2 how they have calculated the 1.6m

Did you find this question in the BPP Revision Kit or as a past exam question? If so then tell me which one so that I can check properly.
