Answer 1

Answer:

Option D

Residual income= $133,000

Explanation:

Residual Income is measure of how much a division or a part of a business is able to generate over and above the company-wide opportunity cost of capital.  

A division with a controllable profit over and margin over and above the cost of fund is evaluated to be profitable .  

Residual income = Controllable margin - (cost of capital(%)× operating assets)  

cost of capital = target ROI = 15%

controllable profit= 5,375,000- 3,225,000- 1,147,000

                             = 1003000

Residual income =  1,003,000 -(15%×5,375,000)

                            = $133,000
