80%

Explanation:

For computing the return on investment first we have to need the following calculations

New contribution margin = Old contribution margin + increase in contribution margin

= $260,000 + $30,000

= $290,000

And,

Net Income = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed costs

= $290,000 - $90,000

= $200,000

ROI = Net income : average operating assets

= $200,000 : $250,000

= 80%
