During 2016, ACME Inc. earned a return on net operating assets (RNOA) of 14 percent from sales of $900 million and after-tax operating income of $60 million. Its required return on operations is 10 percent. The December 31, 2016 balance sheet reports net operating assets (NOA) of $450 million, net financial obligations (NFO) of $50 million and common stock equity (CSE) of $400 million.Management forecasts that RNOA is likely to continue at the same level in the future with organic growth in sales of 3 percent and growth in net operating assets to support sales of 3 percent per year. As the past year was ending, Management considered introducing a new product at the start of 2017 that is expected to increase future sales growth rate from 3 percent to 4 percent while maintaining the current profit margin of 7 percent. But the plan will require additional investment of $90 million in net operating assets that will reduce ACME’s asset turnover from 2.0 to 1.67 going forward.
