Answer 1

Answer:

B) $50,000

Explanation:

Cost of Capital is the rate which is required by the capital investment by the shareholders or owners of the business. Residual Income is the portion of net income after paying the investors of the company. This income is reinvested or retained by the business.

Net operating Income after tax = $100,000

Average Invested Capital = $500,000

Cost of Capital = $500,000 x 10% = $50,000

Residual Income = Net Income - Cost of capital

Residual Income = $100,000 - $50,000

Residual Income = $50,000
