SOLUTION

Return on Investment = (Net Profit before Interest, Tax and Dividend / Capital Employed × 100)
Interest on borrowings = (16,00,000 × 15 / 100)
= Rs. 2,40,000

Net Profit before Tax = Rs. 9,72,000
Net Profit before Interest and Tax = Rs. (9,72,000 + 2,40,000)
= Rs. 12,12,000

Net Profit before Interest and Tax (excluding interest on Non-trade investments) = (12,12,000 – 12,000)
= Rs. 12,00,000

Capital Employed = Shareholder’s Funds + Non-Current Liabilities – Non-Trade Investment
= (5,00,000 + 4,20,000 + 16,00,000 – 1,20,000)
= Rs. 24,00,000

Return on Investment = (12,00,000 / 24,00,000 × 100)
= 50%
