Cindy's ROI is just a comparison--in ratio form--of her annual withdrawals and her initial investment.

But note carefully: One tiny li'l letter can make all the difference. You've typed the question as "return oF investment" which is a different animal than "return oN investment"; the latter is usually what's intended by "ROI".

Check to ascertain which one the question's asking for.
