Answer

 
Transaction
Impact
(i)
Purchase of machinery worth ₹ 10,00,000 by issue of equity shares.
Issue of shares will lead to an increase in the capital employed by ₹ 10,00,000.But profit remains intact and so there will be a decline in the return on investment ratio.
(ii)
Charging depreciation of ₹ 25,000 on machinery.
Simultaneous decrease in profits and capital employed by ₹ 25,000 will lead to a decline in return on investment ratio.
(iii)
Redemption of debentures by cheque ₹ 2,00,000.
Redemption of debentures will lead to a decrease in the capital employed by ₹ 2,00,000. But profit remains intact and so there will be an increase in the return on investment ratio.
(iv)
Conversion of 9% Debentures of ₹ 1,00,000 into equity shares.
Decrease in debentures and increase in share capital causing a simultaneous increase and decrease in capital employed will leave the return on investment ratio unchanged.
