Solution

Calculate following under investment opportunity and otherwise performs same as last year :

8. Margin = net income*100/sales = 529000*100/2760000 = 19.2%

9. Turnover = Sales/average total asset= 2760000/1725000 = 1.60

10. ROI = Net income*100/Average operating assets = 529000*100/1725000 = 30.7%

11. Residual income = Actual operating income-minimum operating income

= 529000-(1725000*15%)

Residual income = 270250

Sales (2300000+460000)	2760000
Net income (460000+69000)	529000
Average operating assets (1437500+287500)	1725000
