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.

exis [7]

Answer:

The average rate of return method includes the entire amount of the income earned over the life of the proposal.

a. rate of return on investments

b. may be reconsidered if funds later become available.

Explanation:

Cash payback period measures how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from the cumulative cash flow.

Amount invested = $-1,000,000

Amount recovered in year 1 = $-1,000,000 + $400,000 = $-600,000

Amount recovered in year 2 = $-600,000 + 320,00 = $-280,000

Amount recovered in year 3 = $-280,000 + 280,000 = 0

The amount invested is recovered In the 3 year

Average accounting rate = average net income/ average book value

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested. The interest rate used is the rate of return on investments.

The hurdle rate is the least acceptable rate that a project can have for it to be acceptable.
