The company paid dividends of $361,240 last year. The “Investment in Buisson, S.A.,” on the balance sheet represents an investment in the stock of another company. The company's minimum required rate of return of 15%.

Required:

1. Compute the company's average operating assets for last year.

2. Compute the company’s margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI) for last year. (Round "Margin", "Turnover" and "ROI" to 2 decimal places.)

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

Answer 1

Average operating assets = [(2,526,000-247,000-409,000)+(2,595,000-251,000-434,000)]/2 = 1,890,000

Margin = Net operating income/sales = 786,240/4,914,000 = 16% Turnover = Sales /Average operating assets = 4,914,000/1,890,000 = 2.6 ROI = Margin * turnover = 16*2.6 = 41.6%

Residual income = Operating income - required return = 786,240 - (1,890,000*15%) = 502,740
