Explanation / Answer

1. Decrease in cost of goods sold by 5% Controllable margin $360,000.00 Add decrease in cost of goods sold = $665,000 x 5% $33,250.00 New Controllable margin $393,250.00 divide by average operating assets $2,000,000.00 Expected ROI 19.7% 2. Decrease in average assets by 10% Average operating assets $2,000,000.00 Less reduction in average operating assets = $2,000,000 x 10% -$200,000.00 New average operating asset $1,800,000.00 Controllable margin $360,000.00 Divide by New average operating asset $1,800,000.00 Expected ROI 20.0% 3. increase average sales by $200,000 and as a result increase in contribution margin by $80,000 Controllable margin $360,000.00 Add increase in contribution margin $80,000.00 New controllable margin $440,000.00 divide by average operating assets $2,000,000.00 Expected ROI 22.0%
