Sure, let's go through each step needed to solve for the missing Return on Investment (ROI) in the provided table.
1. Identify Operating Income and Investment Base:
For the column with the missing ROI:
- Operating Income = 957 (thousands)
- Investment Base (Total Assets) = 7,000 (thousands)
2. Calculate the Return on Investment:
ROI is calculated as:
[tex]\[
\text{ROI} = \frac{\text{Operating Income}}{\text{Investment Base}}
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
So, using the provided values:
[tex]\[
\text{ROI} = \frac{957}{7000}
\][/tex]
4. Compute the Result:
When we perform this division, the result is:
[tex]\[
\text{ROI} \approx 0.1367
\][/tex]
So, the Return on Investment for the given values is approximately 0.1367, or 13.67%. Therefore, the missing value in the table for the Return on Investment (ROI) should be approximately 0.1367.
