Answer 1

Explanation:

The  computation is shown below:

1. Average operating assets is

= (Opening operating assets + closing operating assets) ÷ 2

where,

Opening operating assets is

= Total assets -  Land (undeveloped) - Investment in Buisson, S.A

=$2,020,000 - $180,000 - $250,000

= $1,590,000

And, the closing operating assets is

= Total assets -  Land (undeveloped) - Investment in Buisson, S.A

= $2,100,000 - $170,000 - $280,000

= $1,650,000

So, average operating assets is

= ($1,590,000 + $1,650,000) ÷ 2

= $1,620,000

2.

Margin = Net operating income ÷ Sales

= $405,000 ÷ $4,050,000

= 0.1 or 10%

Turnover is

= Sales ÷ Average operating assets

= $4,050,000 ÷ $1,620,000

= 2.5

Return on Investment = Margin ×Turnover

= 0.1 × 2.5

= 0.25 or 25%

3.  Residual Income = Net operating Income - (Average operating assets × Minimum required rate of return)

= $405,000 - ($1,620,000 × 15%)

= $405,000 - $243000

= $162,000
