Answer:
Solution
1) Residual income at corporate level beforeInvestment
Given
Total Operating Assets = $2,310,000
Total Operating Income = $ 289,240
Rate of Return = 11%
Residual income at corporate level before Investment = Totaloperating Income – Total operating assets * rate of return
= 289240 – 2310000*11/100
= $35,140
2) Residual income At the division level before theadditional investment:
Divisions | Operating Assets($) | Operating Income($) | Calculation | ResidualIncome($) |
Printer | 740,000 | 115,440 | =115440-740000*11% | 34,040 |
Copier | 1,010,000 | 101,000 | =101000-1010000*11% | -10,100 |
Fax | 560,000 | 72,800 | =72800-560000*11% | 11,200 |
3) Residual income At the investment level:
Divisions | Calculation | Residualincome($) |
Printer | =(12.5%-11%)*140000 | 2,100 |
Copier | =(11.5%-11%)*140000 | 700 |
Fax | =(10.5%-11%)*140000 | -700 |
4) Residual income At the division level after theadditional investment:
Residual income At the division level after the additionalinvestment = Residual income At the division levelbefore the additional investment + Residual incomeAt the investment level
Divisions | Calculation | Residual income($) |
Printer | =34040+2100 | 36,140 |
Copier | =-10100+700 | -9,400 |
Fax | =11200-700 | 10,500 |
