This application is a ROI Calculator built with React. A ROI (Return of Investment) calculator is an investment calculator that allows you to estimate profit and loss of investments and is particularly helpful when making financial decisions.

• Break App.js down into reusable components.
• Move calculation tool/utils to its own file.
• Create a Node/Express backend (or stack of your choice) with a rest route to handle the calculations built in the render function of App.js
• Make the totals (revenue, expenses, contribution profit, contribution margin, etc.) reflect a 24 month term (rather than 12) or make the term dynamic, allowing the user to specify a 12, 24, 36, 48, or 60 month term.
• Any other improvements of the application.

Once you have completed the exercise, submit a PR with the base fork as zayo-labs/developer-exercise master. In the body of the PR, write a PRO/CON list addressing the original state of the application. What was done well? What was done poorly?

The app was built to mimic the functionality of the spreadsheet below.

All of the bold fields are calculated fields and should not be editable. As additional revenue and expense items are added, the calculated fields should update automatically on the page. As items are deleted, the calculated fields should also update automatically on the page.

All fields should be formatted correctly: currency format, percentage format (for the Contribution Margin), and decimal format (for the Capital ROI).

The following formulas are used in the app to calculate financials:

• One-Time Revenue = Sum of the one-time column of all revenue items
• Monthly Revenue = Sum of the monthly column of all revenue items
• One-Time Expense = Sum of the one-time column of all expense items
• Monthly Expense = Sum of the monthly column of all expense items
• Total Revenue = One-Time Revenue + Monthly Revenue * 12
• Total Expenses = One-Time Expense + Monthly Expenses * 12
• Monthly Contribution Profit = Monthly Revenue – Monthly Expenses
• Total Contribution Profit = Total Revenue – Total Expenses
• Contribution Margin = Total Contribution Profit / Total Revenue
• Capital ROI (Months) = (One-Time Expenses – One-Time Revenue) / Monthly Contribution Profit
