b. What is the residual income before investing in the project?
c. What is the after investing in the project? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
d. What is the residual income after investing in the project?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of Interest = Operating Income/Average Invested Asset

Residual Income = (Operating Income- Average Invested Assets)*Minimum Required rate of return

a. ROI before investing = $220,000/$2,005,000

ROI before investing = 0.109725686

ROI before investing = 10.97%

b. Residual Income = $220,000 - $2,005,000*5%

Residual Income = $220,000 - $100,250

Residual Income = $119,750

c. ROI after investing = ($220,000+$37,000) / ($2,005,000+$450,000)

ROI after investing = $257,000/$2,455,000

ROI after investing = 0.10468432

ROI after investing = 10.47%

d. Residual Income after investing = $220,000 + $37,000

Residual Income after investing = $257,000
