Return on investment =
A
(Operating profit ÷ Cost ) x 100
B
(Operating profit ÷ Investment) x 100
C
(Operating profit ÷ Revenue) x 100
D
(Operating profit ÷ Sales) x 100
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common is net income divided by the total cost of the investment, or ROI = Net income / Cost of investment x 100.

Detailed explanation-2: -Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by dividing the profit earned on an investment by the cost of that investment. For instance, an investment with a profit of $100 and a cost of $100 would have an ROI of 1, or 100% when expressed as a percentage.

Detailed explanation-3: -ROI equals net operating income divided by average operating assets times 100. For example, if your small business has $30, 000 in net operating income and $100, 000 in average operating assets, your ROI would be $30, 000 divided by $100, 000 times 100, which is 30 percent.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the simple-interest formula I = Prt, the variable I stands for the interest on the original investment, P stands for the amount of the original investment (called the “principal"), r is the interest rate (expressed in decimal form), and t is the time. For annual interest, the time t must be in years.

Detailed explanation-5: -The term “percent” means “per 100” so 1000% is 1000/100 = 10. Thus if one invests $4000.00 and makes 1000% then the return would be 10*$4000.00 = $40 000.00.
