10%

20%

22.50%

Correct Answer:

23%

Explanation:

ROI = (Net Profit before interest and tax X 100)/ Capital Employed
       = (4,60,000 X 100) / 20,00,000
       = 23%

* Interest on debentures= 10% of 3,00,000 = ₹30,000
* Net profit before interest and tax = Net profit after interest and before tax + interest on debentures
                                                        = 430000 + 30000 = ₹460000
