Explanation / Answer

1) a) $2,500,000 Sales = $6,000,000 Investment turnover = Sales / Investment = 2.4 2.4 = $6,000,000 / Investment Investment = $6,000,000/2.4 = $2,500,000 Residual Income (RI) = A - (B × C) In the above formula,    A = Department's net operating income = 49,000    B = Minimum required return = 12%    C = 200,000 Residual Income (RI) = 49,000 (12% of 200,000) = $27,400
