(b) Compute the divisional RI for the Campus Division. (Enter your answer in dollars, not in millions.)

Answer 1

Answer: (a) 12.5%;

(b) $153 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Campus Division of All-States Bank,

Assets = $1,800 million

Division profits = $225 million

Cost of capital = 4 percent

(a) Divisional ROI = $\frac{Profit}{Assets}$

                             = $\frac{225}{1,800}\times100$

                             = 12.5%

(b) Divisional RI = Profits - Assets × cost of capital

                          =  $225 million - $1,800 million × 0.04(4%)

                          = $225 million - $72 million

                          = $153 million
