ANSWER: | |
Step-1 | Formulae: |
Controllable margin = contribution margin - controllable fixed assets | |
Contribution margin = sales - variable cost | |
Contribution margin percentage = contribution margin/sales | |
Return on investment = controllable margin/average operating assets | |
Step-2 | Therefore, |
(A) | |
For 2020: | |
Contribution margin = $477000 - $286200 = $190800 | |
Controllable margin = $190800 - $65400 = $125400 | |
Return on investment = $125400/$627000 | |
20% | |
(B) | |
For 2021: ALTERNATIVE 1: | |
Average operating assets = $627000 - $104500 = $522500 | |
Controllable margin (same as before) = $125400 | |
Therefore, | |
Return on investment = $125400/$522500 | |
24% | |
Step-3 | (C) |
For 2021: ALTERNATIVE 2: | |
Sales = $477000 + $97185 = $574185 | |
Contribution margin percentage (based on year 2020 data) = $190800/$477000 | |
40% | |
Therefore, | |
Contribution margin for 2021 = sales x contribution margin percentage | |
$474185 x 40% | |
189674 | |
Therefore, | |
Controllable margin = $189674 - $65400= $124274 | |
Expected return on investment = $124274/477000 | |
26% |
