Problem 12-34Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Return on Investment and Investment Decisions
Â
Leslie Blandings, division manager of Audiotech Inc., was debating the merits of a new product—a weather radio that would put out a warning if the county in which the listener lived were under a severe thunderstorm or tornado  alert.
Â
The budgeted income of the division was $725,000 with operating assets of $3,625,000. The proposed investment would add income of $640,000 and would require an additional investment in equipment of $4,000,000. The minimum required return on investment for the company is 12%. Round all numbers to two decimal places.
