$ROI (Expanded)=\frac{NetIncome}{Sales}\times \frac{Sales}{Averagetotalassets}$

Or

$ROI=ProfitMarginRatio\times AssetTurnoverratio$

Residual Income (RI):

Residual Income is the income earned over and above the expected rate of return on assets invested in the business. It is calculated by dividing the Sales by Average total assets. The formulas to calculate the Residual Income is as follows:
