[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Utease Corporation has several production plants nationwide. A newly opened plant in Dubuque produces and sells one product. The plant is treated, for responsibility accounting purposes, as a profit center. The unit standard costs for a production unit, with overhead applied based on direct labor hours, are as follows.

Manufacturing costs (per unit based on expected activity of 17,000 units or 18,700 direct labor hours):

Direct materials (1.8 pounds at $10)	$	18.00
Direct labor (1.1 hours at $60)		66.00
Variable overhead (1.1 hours at $10)		11.00
Fixed overhead (1.1 hours at $20)		22.00
Standard cost per unit	$	117.00
Budgeted selling and administrative costs:
Variable	$	4		per unit
Fixed	$	1,500,000

Expected sales activity: 13,000 units at $350 per unit

Desired ending inventories: 12% of sales

Assume this is the first year of operations for the Dubuque plant. During the year, the company had the following activity.

Units produced		16,000
Units sold		14,500
Unit selling price	$	345
Direct labor hours worked		17,100
Direct labor costs	$	1,043,100
Direct materials purchased		32,800		pounds
Direct materials costs	$	328,000
Direct materials used		32,800		pounds
Actual fixed overhead	$	1,000,000
Actual variable overhead	$	87,000
Actual selling and administrative costs	$	1,652,000

In addition, all over- or underapplied overhead and all product cost variances are adjusted to cost of goods sold.

Comprehensive Problem 6 (Algo) Part h

h. Assume Utease Corporation is planning to change its evaluation of business operations in all plants from the profit center format to the investment center format. If the average invested capital at the Dubuque plant is $9,070,000, compute the return on investment (ROI) for the first year of operations. Use the DuPont method of evaluation to compute the return on sales (ROS) and capital turnover (CT) for the plant. (Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be considered as 12.34.))

Please provide percentage of

ROI: _____%

ROS: _____%

Capital Turnover: ____%
