    Dear Mr Moffat,

    I have difficult to answer the following question. Could you please show the working?

    At the start of the year a division has a non current asset of $6M and made not additional or disposal during the year. Depreciation is charged at 10% on not all current assets. Working capital is 0.75M at the start of the year and expected to increase by 20% at the end of the year. The budgeted profit of the year is 1.8M.
    What is the expected ROI for the division.

    Correct answer 27.59%

    Thanks

    Gabriella

    ROI = profit / capital employed

    The question specifically asked you to use the average capital employed.
    Capital employed at the start of the year = 6 + 0.75 = 6.75
    Capital employed at the end of the year = (6 – (10% x 6)) + (0.75 + 20%) = 6.3

    Average capital employed = (6.75 + 6.3) / 2 = 6.525

    ROI = 1.8 / 6.525 = 27.59%

    Dear Mr Moffat,

    I do have another question regarding ROI/RI which I would appreciate your help.

    A company has a divisional structure. Division Y in the period just ended achieved Return on Investment (ROI) of 20%. If capital employed was $ 4million, of which 25% was working capital and the remanider consisted of non current assests at the net book value. The depreciation charge for the year was $300.000.

    What was the residual income earned by Division Y in the period?

    Answer $440,000.

    Profit (4*20/100) 800,000
    National
    Interest
    (9*4M) 360.000
    RI 440.000

    Why wan’t the depreciation included into the calculation?
    Thanks

    Gabriella

    The ROI is profit as a % of the investment, and depreciation will already have been charged as an expense in arriving at the profit.
