SQXSP 27000DLH X 8 DLH AQxSP (8)
3X9000 216000-8000 208000
26000 DLH
2) Average operating assets are $110,000 and net operating income is $23,100. The company invests $25,000 in new assets for a project that will increase net operating income by $5,000. What is the return on investment (ROI) of the new project?
