Answer:
1. $1,930,000
2. Margin = 15%
Turnover = $2.8
Return on investment = 42%
3. $521,100
Explanation:
1. The computation of average operating assets for last year is shown below:-
Average operating assets = (Beginning operating assets + Ending operating assets) ÷ 2
= ($2,562,000 - $399,000 - $253,000) + ($2,634,000 - $434,000 - $250,000) ÷ 2
= ($1,910,000 + $1,950,000) ÷ 2
= $3,860,000 ÷ 2
= $1,930,000
2. The computation of company's margin, turnover, and return on investment is shown below:-
Margin = Net operating income ÷ Sales
= $810,600 ÷ $5,404,000
= 15%
Turnover = Sales ÷ Average operating assets
= $5,404,000 ÷ $1,930,000
= $2.8
Return on investment = Margin × Turnover
= 15% × $2.8
= 42%
3. The computation of residual income last year is shown below:-
Residual income last year = Net operating income - Minimum required return
= $810,600 - ($1,930,000 × 15%)
= $810,600 - $289,500
= $521,100
So, we have applied the above formula.
