From the following information, calculate Return on Investment (or Return on Capital Employed):

ParticularsAmount
(Rs.)
Share Capital5,00,000
Reserves and Surplus2,50,000
Net Fixed Assets22,50,000
Non-current Trade Investments2,50,000
Current Assets11,00,000
10% Long-term Borrowings20,00,000
Current Liabilities8,50,000
Long-term ProvisionNIL

SOLUTION

Net Profit before tax = 6,00,000
Net Profit before interest, tax and dividend = Net Profit before tax + Interest on long-term borrowings
= 6,00,000 + 10% of 20,00,000
= 6,00,000 + 2,00,000
= 8,00,000

Capital Employed = Share Capital + Reserves and Surplus + Long-term borrowings
= 5,00,000 + 2,50,000 + 20,00,000
= 27,50,000

Return on Investment = Net profit  Before Interest, Tax and Dividend × 100 / Capital Employed
= 8,00,000 / 27,50,0000 × 100
= 29.09%
