Problem 12-15 (30 minutes)
1. Breaking the ROI computation into two separate elements helps the
manager to see important relationships that might remain hidden. First,
the importance of turnover of assets as a key element to overall
profitability is emphasized. Prior to use of the ROI formula, managers
company may shave its margins slightly hoping for a large enough
increase in turnover to increase the overall rate of return. Fourth, it
permits a manager to reduce important profitability elements to ratio
form, which enhances comparisons between units (divisions, etc.) of the
organization.
