The following is divisional information for Kingfisher Enterprises:
The target rate of return is 12% for the East Division and is 10% for the West Division.
Compute residual income for each division.
Average assets: (Beginning assets + Ending assets) / 2
East Division = ($1,500,000 + $1,200,000) / 2
= $2,700,000 / 2
= $1,350,000
West Division = ($840,000 + $1,000,000) / 2
= $1,840,000 / 2
= $920,000
Minimum acceptable operating income = Average assets × Target rate of return
East Division = $1,350,000 × 0.12
= $162,000
West Division = $920,000 × 0.10
= $92,000
Residual income = Operating income — Minimum acceptable operating income
East Division = $250,000 - $162,000 = $88,000
West Division = $200,000 - $92,000 = $108,000
