Required:

Assuming the marginal tax rate equals 40 percent, compute MKH’s EBITDA, NOPLAT, Invested Capital, and ROIC (for simplicity, use year-end invested capital). Is ROIC increasing or decreasing?

Decompose MKM’s ROIC and explain how each component of the decomposition leads to an integrated perspective of performance. Address whether operating margins or capital turnover is driving the drop in ROIC.
