Even though RI is motivating, without ROI it might not be enough to accept the project.

Let's see, increased profits but also more capital employed. Better call in the management consultants to sort this out!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. Gotta weigh the impact on ROI and RI carefully. Wonder if there's a calculator app for this?

I believe ROI will motivate them to accept the project, as it will increase annual net profit.
