Required
Requirement 1: Compute division’s return on investment (ROI) for the year 2018 as follows
Return on investment = Operating income ÷ Total assets
= $3,000,000 ÷ $15,000,000
= 20%
Requirement 2: Compute the reduction in cost as follows
Operating income in 2019 = Total assets × Return on investment
= $15,000,000 × 22%
= $3,300,000
Required reduction in cost = Operating income 2019 − Operating income in 2018
= $3,300,000 − $3,000,000
= $300,000
Requirement 3: Compute the reduction in assets as follows
Required assets to earn 22% = Operating income ÷ Return on investment
= $3,000,000 ÷ 22%
= $13,636,364
Required decrease in total assets = $15,000,000 − $13,636,364
= $1,363,636
