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)

Division ABC

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

Residual income= $125,000

Division XYZ

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.
