a. Maple = $900,000 / $7,000,000 = 12.86%
Oak = $1,200,000 / $7,000,000 = 17.14%
High = $980,000 / $6,000,000 = 16.33%
b. Oak Street is doing the best because the ROI is the highest.
c. Maple Street is in danger of being shut down because it is only making a return on its investment base of 12.86%. This is less than the required rate of return of 15%.
d. At a minimum, the company should consider examining the DuPont method, residual income, and the age of operating assets.
