2. Compute the company’s margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI) for last year

Margin        = (Net operating income / Sales)*100

                    = ($608580 / $4347000)*100

                   = 14%

Turnover    =Sales / Average operating assets

                   = $4347000 / 1890000

                   = 2.30

ROI = Margin × Turnover= 14% x 2.3 = 32.2%

3. What was the company’s residual income last year?

Net operating income                                 $608580

Less : Minimum required return                 $283500
