No

Explanation:

As we know that

Return on investment = Net income : Investment

where,

Net income is

= Sales - variable expense - fixed cost

= $100,000 - $60,000 - $40,000

= $0

And, the asset investment is $150,000

So, the return on investment is

= $0 : $150,000

= 0%

The required return on investment is 25%

So, the new project should not be accepted as the return on investment is 0%
