Explanation / Answer

8.

Sales = $400,000

Capital turnover = 2.4

The formula to calculate capital turnover is as follows:

Capital turnover = Sales/Investment

Put the above values for sales and capital turnover in the formula to calculate the amount of investment.

2.4 = $400,000/Investment

Or,

Investment = $400,000/2.4 = $166,667

Now, return on investment = 36%

The formula to calculate return on investment is as follows:

Return on investment = Net operating income/Investment

Put the value of return on investment and investment in the above formula to calculate the net operating income.

36% = Net operating income/$166,667

Or,

Net operating income = 36% x $166,667 = $60,000

Therefore,

The correct answer is D.
