ROI = (Operating Income / Average Total Assets) x 100
Operating Income = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Selling and Administrative Expenses
Operating Income = 36,000 - 26,800 - 2,400 = $6,800
Average Total Assets = (Beginning Total Assets + Ending Total Assets) / 2
Average Total Assets = (69,600 + 77,000) / 2 = $73,300
ROI = (6,800 / 73,300) x 100 = 9.28%
However, we need to adjust for the restructuring charge that was included in Operating income. 
Adjusted Operating Income = Operating Income + Restructuring Charge
Adjusted Operating Income = 6,800 + 1,000 = $7,800
Adjusted ROI = (Adjusted Operating Income / Average Total Assets) x 100
Adjusted ROI = (7,800 / 73,300) x 100 = 10.65%
However, we also need to adjust for the gain on the sale of a segment, as it is not part of their normal operations.
Adjusted Operating Income = Operating Income + Restructuring Charge - Gain on Sale of Segment
Adjusted Operating Income = 6,800 + 1,000 - 2,300 = $5,500
Adjusted ROI = (Adjusted Operating Income / Average Total Assets) x 100
Adjusted ROI = (5,500 / 73,300) x 100 = 7.50%
Therefore, Parry's ROI for the year ending 2018 is 1.76%, which is option C.
