Question:
CAMPAIGN REPORT: Holiday promotion cost $285K and generated $1.64M in revenue. FINANCE DATA: Gross margin on promotional sales was 42%. MARKETING MEMO: "Promotions must deliver 2.5x ROI on gross profit to be considered successful." Did the promotion meet the success criteria?

Options

(A) Yes, with 2.41x ROI
(B) Yes, with 2.42x ROI
(C) No, with 2.42x ROI
(D) No, with 1.75x ROI
(E) Cannot determine without baseline sales
Answer: (C) No, with 2.42x ROI

Explanation:
Gross profit = $1.64M × 0.42 = $688.8K. ROI = $688.8K/$285K = 2.42x. This falls short of 2.5x requirement, so promotion did not meet success criteria despite positive ROI.
