    The computation is shown below:

    For return on investment

    Return on investment = Income from operations : invested assets

    = $13,200,000 : $55,000,000

    = 0.24 or 24%

    For Investment turnover

    Investment turnover = Sales : Invested assets

    = $82,500,000 : $55,000,000

    = 1.5

    For Profit margin

    Profit Margin = Income from operations : Sales

    = $13,200,000 : $82,500,000

    = 0.16 or 16%

    The return on investment

    = Profit margin * investment turnover

    = 16% * 1.5

    = 24%
