ROM = GP / AIC *100

• Where ROM is the Return on Margin (%)
• GP is the gross profit ($) • AIC is the average inventory cost ($)

## How to Calculate Return on Margin?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Return on Margin.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the gross profit ($). • The gross profit ($) is given as: 68.
2. Next, determine the average inventory cost ($). • The average inventory cost ($) is provided as: 175.
