In this case, the cost of capital for sunrises limited is 10%, for the total capital of 80,00,000, cost of capital will be 8,00,000 INR.
As per the previous year earnings statement, the company had net earnings of 8,00,000 for the capital investment of 1,00,00,00 , so total ROI for that is mentioned below
`"ROI"= "RETURN" / "INVESTMENT"`
`"ROI" = 800000/10000000 = 8` Percent
Under the assumption that company will operate under the same efficiency, the additional investment of 80,00,000 will be having net ROI of 8% which will be 6,40,000 aganist the cost of debt 8,00,000.
