Return on sales return on investment

Return on investment (ROI. Return on investment) refers to the normal annual profit or annual average profit of the total investment in the period of production. The calculation formula is: Return on investment (ROI) = annual profit or average annual profit / total investment × 100%.
How to calculate the return on investment: Some insiders told us such a formula for calculating the return on investment:
Calculate the return on investment for purchase and re-rental = monthly rent × 12 (months) / selling price
Calculate the ROI of purchase and resale = (sale price-purchase price) / purchase price
For example, there is a street shop with an area of about 50 square meters and a price of about 2 million yuan. Around the property, the monthly rent of the same property is about 400 yuan / square meter. The owner will likely get a monthly rent of 20,000 yuan. So, what is its return on investment? Calculate: Apply the above calculation formula: the investment return rate of this property = 20,000 yuan x 12/2 million yuan. Through calculation, we have concluded that the investment return rate of this property will be: 12%. , And sold at 2.15 million yuan, then its return on investment = (215-200) / 200, the result is: 7.5% [2]
