Answer to Problem 38E
The ROI for year 1, year 2, year 3 and year 4 is 16.05%, 21.11%, 27.97%, and 37.56%.
Explanation of Solution
Net book value:
Net book value refers to the value of the asset after the adjustment of the depreciation. The value of the asset is calculated by deducting the cumulative depreciation from the book value of the asset.
Calculate the ROI using historical cost, net book value:

Answer to Problem 38E
The ROI for year 1, year 2, year 3 and year 4 is 14.44%, 16.89%, 19.58%, and 22.54%.
Explanation of Solution
Gross book value:
Gross book value is the value of the asset without the adjustment of the depreciation. The asset is recorded on the book value or the cost value.
Calculate the ROI using historical cost, net book value:

Answer to Problem 38E
The ROI for year 1, year 2, year 3 and year 4 is 13.58%, 15.28%, 17.46%, and 20.37%.
