Solution

To calculate the expected return on investment (ROI) for each location, you need to divide the expected annual income by the investment in average assets and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

For location A:

  1. Divide the expected annual income (75,000)bytheinvestmentinaverageassets(75,000) by the investment in average assets (500,000). This equals 0.15.
  2. Multiply 0.15 by 100 to get the ROI as a percentage. This equals 15%.

For location B:

  1. Divide the expected annual income (38,000)bytheinvestmentinaverageassets(38,000) by the investment in average assets (200,000). This equals 0.19.
  2. Multiply 0.19 by 100 to get the ROI as a percentage. This equals 19%.

So, the expected ROI for location A is 15% and for location B is 19%.
