Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • If an ROI of 100% means that the gross profit on the investment is twice the costs of the investment, an ROI of >100% means that it is more than twice the costs.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hello! 

ROI>100% happens when your net profit is higher than the initial investment.

Let's say you bought 10 apples for $100 (or $10/apple). This $100 is your 'cost of investment'. Let's then say that you went and sold these apples in a place where they were very highly valued. You managed to get $100/apple, for a total sales value of $1,000. Let's assume that, after you cover transportation costs, renting a space to sell them, etc., you have $200 left (your net profit). Your ROI is 200% ($200/$100). 200% ROI means you made back 100% of your initial investment of $100, plus another 100%.

This is an exaggerated example, but hopefully it helps highlight the concept of ROI>100%.

Best,

Maria

Hey!

If ROI is 100%, it means the net profit equals the initial investment, meaning you've fully recovered the cost and made an equal amount in profit.

If ROI is greater than 100%, it means the net profit exceeds the investment cost.

Hey there, 

ROI = [Net Profit / Cost of Investment]

So it ROI = 100%, it means:

  • Net Profit = Cost of Investment. Meaning you fully recover the exact amount of investment cost in profits

ROI > 100% means you recover more than the value of your investment costs

All the best

Hi, I am confused about what exactly is the formula for ROI. Is it (Profit-Cost)/Cost (see picture 1) or Profit/Cost (see picture 2)? Both cases are from Darden and googling online both equations show up. Thank you a lot!
