Answer:
1. ROI for each division:
Division A Division B Division C
Return on investment (DuPont) = 23% 7% 11.6%
2. Residual income (loss) $469,500 ($106,950) $0
3. Divisions A and C will probably accept the opportunity while Division B will reject it.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $ 15,650,000 $ 35,650,000 $ 20,520,000
Average operating assets $ 3,130,000 $ 7,130,000 $ 5,130,000
Net operating income $ 719,900 $ 499,100 $ 595,080
Minimum required rate of return 8.00 % 8.50 % 11.60 %
Return on investment (ROI) (ordinary) 23% 7% 11.6%
ROI = Net operating income/Average operating assets * 100
Return on investment (DuPont ROI) :
Asset Turnover = 5 5 4
Sales/Average operating assets
Operating income margin =
Income/Sales * 100 4.6% 1.4% 2.9%
Return on investment (DuPont) = 23% 7% 11.6%
Asset Turnover * Operating income margin
Residual income =
Net income - (Equity * RRR) $469,500 ($106,950) $0
NB: Equity is approximated to the net operating asset here.
