Residual Income and Investment Decisions
Jarriot, Inc., presented two years of data for its Furniture Division and its Houseware Division.
Furniture Division: | ||
Year 1 | Year 2 | |
Sales | $35,500,000 | $38,400,000 |
Operating income | 1,370,000 | 1,540,000 |
Average operating assets | 8,590,000 | 8,590,000 |
Houseware Division: | ||
Year 1 | Year 2 | |
Sales | $11,500,000 | $12,700,000 |
Operating income | 680,000 | 510,000 |
Average operating assets | 5,800,000 | 5,800,000 |
At the end of Year 2, the manager of the Houseware Division is concerned about the division’s performance. As a result, he is considering the opportunity to invest in two independent projects. The first is called the Espresso-Pro; it is an in-home espresso maker that can brew regular coffee as well as make espresso and latte drinks. While the market for espresso drinkers is small initially, he believes this market can grow, especially around gift-giving occasions. The second is the Mini-Prep appliance that can be used to do small chopping and dicing chores that do not require a full-sized food processor. Without the investments, the division expects that Year 2 data will remain unchanged. The expected operating incomes and the outlay required for each investment are as follows:
Espresso-Pro | Mini-Prep | |
Operating income | $28,000 | $15,300 |
Outlay | 160,000 | 110,000 |
Jarriot’s corporate headquarters has made available up to $520,000 of capital for this division. Any funds not invested by the division will be retained by headquarters and invested to earn the company’s minimum required rate of return, 7 percent.
Required:
1. Compute the residual income for each of the opportunities. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
Espresso-Pro residual income | $ |
Mini-Prep residual income | $ |
2. Compute the divisional residual income for each of the following four alternatives: (Round to the nearest dollar.)
a. The Espresso-Pro is added.
$
b. The Mini-Prep is added.
$
c. Both investments are added.
$
d. Neither investment is made; the status quo is
maintained.
$
Assuming that divisional managers are evaluated and rewarded on
the basis of residual income, which alternative do you think the
divisional manager will choose?
3. Assuming that management acts as you recommend in requirement 2, compute the change in profit (loss) from the divisional manager's investment decision.
$
Was the correct decision made?
Part-1 |
Espresso-Pro ROI (28000/160000)= 17.5% |
Mini-prep ROI (15300/110000)=13.91% |
Part-2 |
a
Espresso pro is added (28000+510000)/(160000+5800000)=9.03% |
b Mini
prep is added (15300+510000)/(110000+5800000)=8.89% |
c Both
are added (15300+28000+510000)/(110000+160000+5800000)=9.12% |
d Status quo (510000/5800000)=8.79% |
ROI = Operating income/Operating assets |
Espresso-Pro should be chosen as ROI is highest |
