Question

Carlinville Car Parts, Inc. has been provided by its lenders and owners with $46,000,000 to purchase assets. The most recent income statement showed Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT, or Operating Income) of $10,500,000, and net income of $3,950,000. Income tax was paid at a 25% average annual rate. What was Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the year?

Answer 1

Answer:

17%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate ROIC is:

ROIC= Net operating profit after tax/ Total invested capital

ROIC= EBIT*(1-Tax rate)/Total invested capital

ROIC= 10,500,000*(1-0.25)/46,000,000

ROIC= 7,875,000/46,000,000

ROIC= 0.17 → 17%

According to this, the answer is that the Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the year is 17%.
