Calculate Return on Investment (ROI) from the following details: Net Profit after Tax ₹ 6,50,000; Rate of Income Tax 50%; 10% Debentures of ₹ 100 each ₹ 10,00,000; Fixed Assets at cost ₹ 22,50,000; Accumulated Depreciation on Fixed Assets up to date ₹ 2,50,000; Current Assets ₹ 12,00,000; Current Liabilities ₹ 4,00,000.
Solution
Net Fixed Assets = Fixed Assets (at cost) − Accumulated Depreciation
= 22,50,000 − 2,50,000 = 20,00,000
Capital Employed = Net Fixed Assets + Current Assets − Current Liabilities
= 20,00,000 + 12,00,000 − 4,00,000
= 28,00,000
Interest on 10% Debentures = 10% of 10,00,000 = 1,00,000
Let Profit before Tax be = x
Profit after Tax = Profit Before Tax − Tax
Tax Rate = 50%
∴ Tax = 0.5 x
x − 0.5 x = 6,50,000
x = 13,00,000
Net Profit before Tax = x = 13,00,000
Profit before Interest and Tax = Profit before Tax + Interest on Long-term Debt
= 13,00,000 + 1,00,000
= 14,00,000
Return On Investment = `"Net Profit before Interest and Tax"/"Capital Employed" xx 100`
`= 1400000/2800000 xx 100 = 50 %`
