2. 2. If divisional management is being evaluated on the basis of ROI, will the Northeast Division likely pursue acquisition of the competitor?

3. 3-a. Compute the ROI of the competitor as it is now and after the intended upgrade.

4. 3-b. If ROI is used as the basis for evaluation, would Megatronics Corporation likely be in favor of the acquisition of the competitor?

5. 4. Calculate the Northeast Division's ROI after acquisition of competitor but before upgrading.
