Answer 1

(a) Return on investment = Operaring income / Net assets = $900,000/$5,000,000 = 18%

(b) Residual incoome = Net operating income - (Operating assets*Minimum required rate of return) = $900,000 - ($5,000,000*16%) = $100,000

(c) 1. Return on investment = Operaring income / Net assets = ($900,000 + $200,000) /$5,850,000 = 18.803% 2. Residual incoome = Net operating income - (Operating assets*Minimum required rate of return) = $1100,000 - ($5,850,000*16%) = $164,000
