判断增加ROI就是根据分子分母的变化来判断即可
Answer (D) is correct . ROI equals income divided by invested capital. If a company is already profitable, increasing sales and expenses by the same percentage will increase ROI. For example, if a company has sales of $100 and expenses of $80, its net income is $20. Given invested capital of $100, ROI is 20% ($20 ¡Â $100). If sales and expenses both increase 10% to $110 and $88, respectively, net income increases to $22. ROI will then be 22% ($22 ¡Â $100).Answer (A) is incorrect because Increasing sales and expenses by the same dollar amount will not change income or ROI.
Answer (B) is incorrect because Decreasing revenues and expenses by the same percentage will reduce income and lower ROI.
Answer (C) is incorrect because Increasing investment and operating expenses by the same dollar amount will lower ROI. The higher investment increases the denominator, and the increased expenses reduce the numerator.
