    Osaka ROI is 28%

    Yokohama ROI is 18%

    Explanation:

    The formula for return on investment = net income/average operating assets*100

    For Osaka division:

    net income is $749,000

    average operating assets is $2,675,000

    return on investment=$749,000/$2,675,000*100

    =28%

    For Yokohama

    net income is $3,330,000

    average operating assets is $18,500,000

    return on investment=$3,330,000/$18,500,000

    =18%

    Even though Yokohama has a higher net operating income, the Osaka division recorded a better performance using ROI as a performance metric, which shows profit computation is an absolute figure which does not consider the amount of resources invested in order to earn the profit
