"I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line," said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company's Office Products Division. "But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division's return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don't want any letdown."

Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company's Office Products Division for the most recent year are given below:

Sales $10,000,000
Variable expenses 6,000,000
Contribution margin 4,000,000
Fixed expenses 3,200,000
Net operating income $800,000
Divisional operating assets $4,000,000

The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 15% last year (considering all divisions).The Office Products Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require an additional investment in operating assets of $1,000,000. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be:

Sales $2,000,000
Variable expenses 60% of sales
Fixed expenses $640,000

Requirement 1:

Compute the Office Products Division's ROI for the most recent year; also compute the ROI as it would appear if the new product line is added. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

ROI
Present %
New Line %
Total for company %

I calculated that Present is 20% and total for the company is 19.2% but I can't get the correct ROI for New Line. Please help calculate the ROI for New Line.

Suppose an economist believes that the price level in the economy is directly related to the money supply, or the amount of money circulating in the economy. the economist proposes the following relationship: p=a x m - p=price level - m=money supply - a=a composite of other factors, including real gdp, that change very slowly over time. how might an economist gather empirical data to test the proposed relationship between money and the price level? an economist would persuade the federal reserve to change the money supply to various levels, and observe the resulting changes in the price level. unlike researchers in the hard sciences, economists cannot study complex relationships using data. economists do not usually develop theoretical models of the economy but only analyze summary statistics about the current state of the economy. an economist would look for data on past changes in the money supply, and note the resulting changes in the price level
