Explanation / Answer

1. The Last Years Turnover is $1,400,000

2. The Last Year's Return on Investment:

Total Return = $280,000

Total Operating Asset = $875,000

Last Years' Return on Investment = 32% [280000/875000]

3. Turnover related to the current years investment opportunity = $480,000

4. Turnover in the current year if the company pursues the opportunity = $1,880,000 [$480,000 + $1,400,000]

5. Last Year's Residual Income

Formula, Residual Income = Net Income in last Year - Average Operating Assets * Rate of return

Residual Income = $280,000 - $875000 * 15%

Residual Income = $148750
