Meiji Isetan Corp. of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow:
Division
Osaka Yokohama
Sales $ 10,200,000 $ 32,000,000
Net operating income $ 816,000 $ 3,200,000
Average operating assets $ 2,550,000 $ 16,000,000
Required:
1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. (Do not round intermediate calculations)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Osaka:

ROI = 32% in terms of margin

ROI = 400% in terms of turnover

Yokohama:

ROI = 20% in terms of margin

ROI = 200% in terms of turnover

Explanation:

ROI is an investor ratio meant to measure return/performance of a particular investment.

The formula for calculating ROI is as follows:

ROI= NET PROFIT ÷ COST OF INVESTMENT/AVERAGE OPERATING ASSETS.

ROI for Osaka division is as follows;

ROI = $816000÷$2550000×100

ROI = 32%

ROI for Yokohama division is as follows;

ROI = $3200000÷$16000000×100

ROI = 20%

The formula for calculating ROI in terms of turnover is as follows;

ROI in terms of turnover = sales÷average operating assets×100

ROI for Osaka division is as follows;

ROI = $10200000÷$2550000×100

ROI = 400%

ROI for Yokohama division is as follows;

ROI = $32000000÷$16000000×100

ROI = 200%

So form the results it's pretty clear that division Osaka is performing better than Yokohama. But we can also see that the level of investment in Osaka is also greater than that of Yokohama.

Answer:

                                                            Osaka              Yokohama

                                                                $                            $

Profit margin

= Net operating income x 100           816,000   x 100    $3,200,000 x 100

       Sales                                         10,200,000              32,000,000

                                                            = 8%                                10%

Asset turnover

= Sales                                                   10,200,000            32,000,000

Average operating assets                   2,550,000             16,000,000

                                                                  = 4                              2

ROI

= Profit margin x asset turnover           8% x 4                      10% x 2

                                                                    32%                         20%

Explanation:

In this question, we need to calculate profit margin by dividing the net operating income by the sales multiplied by 100. Then, we will calculate asset turnover by dividing sales by average operating assets. Finally, we will calculate ROI by multiplying the profit margin by asset turnover.
