2Computing ROI-

ROI=Net incomeAverage asset×100=$172,900$500,000×100=34.58%

3Computing profit margin ratio-

Profit margin ratio=Net incomeNet sales revenue=$172,900$6,000.000=0.0288

4Computing asset turnover ratio-

Asset Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Average Total Assets=$6,000,000$500,000=12

5Computing expanded ROI

ROI=Profit margin ratio×Asset turnover ratio×100=0.0288×12×100=34.56
