Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his divisions return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $ 660,000
Depreciation 740,000
Total fixed expenses 1,400,000
Net operating income $ 400,000
