Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The residual income for each division will be calculated as follows:

Retail division:

Operating income = $8,000,000

Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $40,000,000 = $4,000,000

Residual income = $4,000,000

Commercial division:

Operating income = $12,750,000

Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $75,000,000 = $7,500,000

Residual income = $5,250,000

Internet division:

Operating income = $270,000

Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $1,800,000 = $180,000

Residual income = $90,000

From the information above, we can also see that the commercial division has the highest residual value.
