    capital interest = 12%* 200,000=24,000.

    RI=company’s return-capital interest
    36,000=company’s return-24000
    company’s return=36,000+24,000=60,000

    ROI=RI+(capital X interest)/Capital employed.
    ROI= 36000 + (12%x $200 000) divided by $200 000
    ROI= 30%

    mandlaj is correct 🙂

    company return = 60,000
    ROI =company’s return/ company’s investement(that is same as capital employed)
    =60,000/200,000*100%=30%
