Explanation of Solution
a)
Determine ROI of C Division, if income from operations is $1,000,000 (From part (1)), sales are $25,000,000, and assets invested are $10,000,000.
b)
Determine ROI of SC Division, if income from operations is $480,000 (From part (1)), sales are $8,000,000, and assets invested are $4,000,000.
c)
Determine ROI of RB Division, if income from operations is $682,500 (From part (1)), sales are $9,750,000, and assets invested are $6,500,000.

(3)

Explanation of Solution
The division with highest return on investment is considered as the most profitable division. Hence, SC Division is the most profitable division with highest ROI of 12.0%. Although income from operations are less than C Division, the return earned per dollar of assets invested is high for SC Division. So, it is recommended to expand the SC Division, assuming that the ROI would be standard.
