Answer:

Residual income is therefore $732,000.

Explanation:

This can be computed by following the following steps:

Step 1: Calculation of ending net book value

Particulars $'000

Beginning investment 6,900

add: Additional investment 8,100

Less: Depreciation - Other (2,850)

Ending net book value 12,150

Step 2: Calculation of Minimum required return

Minimum required return = Ending net book value * Required return rate = $12,150,000 * 12% = $1,458,000

Step 3: Calculation of profit (loss) on disposal

First year depreciation on investment = (Investment cost - Salvage value) / Useful life = ($6,600,000 - $660,000) / 3 = $1,980,000

Profit (loss) on disposal = Salvage value - Investment cost - First year depreciation on investment = $660,000 - $6,600,000 - $1,980,000 = $3,960,000 loss

Step 4: Calculation of residual income

Particulars $'000

Given operating profit of the division 6,150

Less: Loss on disposal (3,960)

Revised operating income 2,190

less: Minimum required return (1,458)

Residual income 732

Residual income is therefore $732,000.

"A items" have very tight control and accurate records

"B items" does not have a tight control and good records

"C items" have minimal records, periodic review, and and characterized by simple controls.

From the above explanation, it is therefore true that periodic review systems are best suited for the C category of items under the ABC classification scheme.
