1. Last year's residual income was:
| ? | Average operating assets | $6,000,000 |
| ? | Net operating income | $912,000 |
| ? | Minimum required return ($6,000,000 × 14%) | 840,000 |
| ? | Residual income | $72,000 |
2. The residual income for this year's investment opportunity is:
| ? | Contribution margin (40% × $2,400,000) | $960,000 |
| ? | Fixed expenses | 744,000 |
| ? | Net operating income | $216,000 |
| ? | Average operating assets | $1,200,000 |
| ? | Net operating income | $216,000 |
| ? | Minimum required return ($1,200,000 × 14%) | 168,000 |
| ? | Residual income | $48,000 |
3. If the company pursues the investment opportunity, this year's residual income will be:
Average operating assets = $6,000,000 + $1,200,000 = $7,200,000
Net operating income = $912,000 + $216,000 = $1,128,000
| ? | Average operating assets | $7,200,000 |
| ? | Net operating income | $1,128,000 |
| ? | Minimum required return ($7,200,000 × 14%) | 1,008,000 |
| ? | Residual income | $120,000 |
4. The CEO would pursue the investment opportunity because residual income would increase by $48,000.
