2- A rough rule of thumb for the chemical industry is that OMR 1 of annual sales required
OMR 2 of fixed capital investment. In a chemical processing plant where this rule
applies, the total capital investment is OMR 3200000 and the working capital is 18% of
the total capital investment. The annual net total product cost amounts to 1500000
OMR. If the income tax rates on gross earnings total 21%, determine the following:
(a) Percent of total capital investment returned annually as gross earning.
(b) Percent of total capital investment returned annually as net profit.
