Worked Example

1,200,000 NOPAT, 5,000,000 equity, 3,000,000 debt, 1,000,000 cash.

• Total Net Invested Capital: 5,000,000 + 3,000,000 - 1,000,000 = 7,000,

000.

• Return on Invested Capital (ROIC): (1,200,000 ÷ 7,000,000) × 100 = 17.14%.

• ROIC > 15%: Indicates a high-quality business with a strong competitive moat.

Understanding Your Result

ROI = (Net Profit ÷ Investment Cost) ×

• A positive ROI means the investment returned more than it cost; negative ROI means a loss. For capital investment comparisons, use ROI alongside payback period and IRR — a high ROI over 10 years may be less attractive than a moderate ROI over 3 years. Marketing ROI benchmarks: email marketing averages 4,200% ROI (42 per 1 spent); paid search averages 200%; social media organic averages 95%. Internal projects typically require minimum 15–25% ROI to clear a standard hurdle rate.
