Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Part 1 ---

Return on Investment = Operating Income / Average Invested Assets x 100

Operating Income = Sales 840,000 – COGS 540,000 – Operating Expense 70,000 = $230,000

Return on Investment = Operating Income 230,000 / Average Invested Assets 2,450,000 x 100

= 9.39%

Investment Turnover = Sales / Average Invested Assets = 840,000 / 2,450,000 = 0.34

Profit Margin = Operating Profit / Net Sales x 100

= 230,000 / 840,000 x 100

= 27.38%

Residual Income (loss) = Operating Profit – (Average Invested Assets x Hurdle Rate)

= 230,000 – (2,450,000*11%)

= 230,000 – 269,500

= ($39,500)

Part 2(a) ---

Upcoming Year Sales = 840,000 * 140% = $1,176,000

COGS = 540,000*140% = 756,000

Net Income = 1,176,000 – 756,000 – 70,000 = $350,000

Return on Investment = Net Income / Average Invested Asset x 100

= 350,000 / 2,450,000 x 100

= 14.29%

Residual Income (loss) = Net Income – Minimum Required Return as calculated in part 1

= 350,000 – 269,500

= $80,500

Part 2(b) – Operating Expenses decrease by $12,000

Net Income = 230,000 + Decrease in Operating Exp 12,000 = $242,000

Return on Investment = Net Income 242,000 / Average Invested Asset 2,450,000 x 100

= 9.88%

Residual Income (loss) = Net Income 242,000 – Minimum required return 269,500 = ($27,500)

Part 2(c) –

Net Income = $230,000 – Operating Expense Increase 70,000*10% = 223,000

Return on Investment = Net Income 223,000 / Average Invested Asset 2,450,000 x 100 = 9.10%

Residual Income (loss) = Net Income 223,000 – Minimum required return 269,500 = ($46,500)
