Explanation / Answer

ROI = net operating income / average operating assets

ROI = $476,490/ 4,913,600 = 9.70%

Action 1           original contribution margin= 35.9258262%

ROI = $591,535/ $4913,600 = 12.04 or 12%

Action 2

ROI = 635,840/4913,600 = 12.90%

Action 3 $1913,600 @97% = $4766,192

ROI = $476,490 / $4766,192

          = 10%

Sales $2,971,400 Less: Variable cost 1,903,900 Contribution margin 1,067,500 Less: Controllable fixed cost     591,010 Net income $476,490
