Assuming that there are no income taxes, what would be the ROI and residual income, respectively, for this equipment, which has
anygoal [31]

Please see complete question below :

CPA-08299: Managers of the Doggie Food Co. want to add a bonus component to their compensation plan. They are trying to decide between return on investment (ROI) and residual income (RI) as the performance measure they will use. If Doggie adopts the RI performance measure, the relevant required rate of return would be 18%. One segment of Doggie is the Good Treats division, where the manager has invested in new equipment. The operating results from this equipment are as follows:

Revenues $ 80,000

Cost of goods sold 45,000

General and administrative expenses 15,000

Assuming that there are no income taxes, what would be the ROI and RI for this equipment that has an average value of $100,000?

ROI RI

Answer:

ROI =  20% and RI = $2000

Explanation:

Return On Investment(ROI) = Profit before Interest & Tax/Average Investment

Profit before Interest & Tax (PBIT) = Revenue -cost of goods sold- General & Adm expenses

PBIT= $ 80,000 - $45,000 -$15,000

      = $20,000

ROI = ($20,000/100,000) * 100% = 20%

Residual Income = PBIT - (Average Investment* Required Rate of Return)

                            =$20,000- (18%* 100,000)

                           =$20,000- $18,000

                           = $2000

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Selling amount of equipment = $80,000

Purchasing price 2 years ago = $75,000

Depreciation expense = $20,000

Gain(Loss) = Cash proceeds - Book value

                  = $80,000 - ($75,000 - $20,000)

                  = $80,000 - $55,000

Capital gain = $25,000

Therefore, the amount and character of Bozeman's gain is $25,000.

Division ABC has $750,000 invested in assets and earned $200,000 in income. Division XYZ has $800,000 invested in assets and ear
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Division XYZ has the highest residual income

Explanation:

Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.

It is used to appraise and evaluate the performance of separate divisions of the same company where different managers are responsible for each

It is computed as follows:

Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)

<em>Division ABC</em>

Residual income = 200,000 - (10%×750,000) = $125,000

Residual income= $125,000

<em />

<em>Division XYZ</em>

Residual income = 210,000 - (10% ×800,000) = $130 ,000

Residual income= $130,000

Division XYZ has a higher residual income of $130,000 compared to the $125,000 of division ABC. A difference of $5,000 higher.
