Ugh, I hate these ROI questions. Why can't they just ask something straightforward, like 'what's the square root of 144?' *sighs* Alright, let me re-work this. Okay, I think C is the right answer.

Wait, wait, wait. I think you're both overthinking this. Isn't ROI just (net income / total investment) * 100? So it would be ($525,000 / $500,000) * 100 = 105%. C is the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't the ROI be calculated as net income divided by total investment? In that case, the ROI would be $525,000 / $500,000 = 1.05, or 105%. That would make C the right answer.

Okay, let's walk through this step-by-step. Total revenue was $1,925,000, total investment was $500,000, and total expenses were $1,400,000. So the net income would be $525,000. Divide that by the total investment and you get 30% ROI. I'm going with D.

Let's see, the information we have is the total revenue, total investment, and total expenses. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out the ROI, right?
