The Abs Shoppe is a regional chain of health clubs. The managers of the clubs, who have authority to make investments as needed, are evaluated based largely on return on investment (ROI). The Abs Shoppe reported the following results for the past year:

Required 1. Compute the club's return on investment (ROI). your answers to 2 decimal places.) Margin Tunover ROI

Explanation / Answer

Part 1)

The club's return on investment can be calculated with the use of following formula:

ROI = Margin*Turnover

Where Margin = Net Income/Sales*100

and Turnover = Sales/Average Operating Assets

__________

Using the information provided in the question, we get,

Margin = 12,240/720,000*100 = 1.70%

Turnover = 720,000/100,000 = 7.2

ROI = 1.70%*7.2 = 12.24%

__________

Part 2)

The value of revised sales would be = 720,000 + 72,000 = $792,000

The value of revised operating income would be = 12,240 + 5,184 = $17,424

__________

Using the revised values in formulas mentioned above, we get,

Margin = 17,424/792,000*100 = 2.20%

Turnover = 792,000/100,000 = 7.92

ROI = 2.20%*7.92 = 17.42%

__________

Part 3)

Reduction in operating expenses would result in an increase in the operating income. It will have no effect on the value of sales or operating assets.

The value of revised operating income would be = 12,240 + 2,880 = $15,120

__________

Using the revised value of operating income in formulas mentioned above, we get,

Margin = 15,120/720,000*100 = 2.10%

Turnover = 720,000/100,000 = 7.2

ROI = 2.10%*7.2 = 15.12%

__________

Part 4)

The value of revised operating assets would be = 100,000 - 20,000 = $80,000

__________

Using the revised value of operating assets in formulas mentioned above, we get,

Margin = 12,240/720,000*100 = 1.70%

Turnover = 720,000/80,000 = 9

ROI = 1.70%*9 = 15.30%
