Answer:

Divisions                                              A                  B                         C

1) ROI                                                     23%              7.50%               10.40%

2) Residual income(loss)                    $428400    -$141200               $0        

3)a ROI                                                 reject            accept               reject  

3b) Residual income                         Accept            Reject             Accept      

Explanation:

Divisions                                              A                  B                         C

Sales                                           $15,300,000   $35,300,000     $20,240,000

Net operating income                 $703,800        $529,500          $526,240

operating Assets                         $3,060,000     $7,060,000      $5,060,000

required rate of return                 9.00%                9.50%                  10.40

ROI = Net operating income / average operating assets

Residual income(loss) = controllable margin- required return* average operating expenses

 let controllable margin = net operating income

sales are primary incomes more like gross without any expenses deducted.

3a ) If performance is measured by ROI then the new rate of the investment must be higher than the ROI for a project to be accepted

3b) Residual income: for a project to be accepted it must have a positive effect on it and or should generate a positive residual income.

Journalizing purchase and sales transactions
Firdavs [7]

Based on the given purchase and sale transactions, the journal entries are:

Date             Account Title                                   Debit                    Credit

Feb 3      Merchandise inventory                   3,300

                            Account payable                                       3,300

Feb 7            Account payable                               900

                    Merchandise inventory                                               900

Feb 9            Merchandise inventory                    400

                      Cash                                                                               400

Feb 10           Account receivable                        4,700

                      Sales revenue                                                             4,700

Feb 10            Cost of goods                                  2,350

                       Freight out                                          370

                      Merchandise inventory                                            2,350

                      Cash                                                                             370

Feb 12             Account payable                             2,400

                       Cash                                                                          2,328

                       Merchandise inventory                                                 72

Feb 28             Cash                                                 4,606

                         Sales discount                                      94

                         Account receivable                                               4,700

<h3 /><h3>What are the journal entries?</h3>

When goods are purchased, they will be debited to the Merchandise inventory account. If they were paid for with cash, they will be credited to the cash account. On account is credited to Accounts Payable.

When goods are sold, the cost of goods sold will have to be debited to account for the cost of the purchase that is now being sold.

Because the goods were paid for in the discount period, a 3% discount would apply:

= 2,400 x (1 - 3%)
= $2,328

A 2% discount would apply to the Feb 10. sales for the same reason:
= 4,700 x (1 - 2%)

= $4,606
