Answer 1

Please follow and find the answers below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fruit Division Flower Division

Sales revenue $ 1,740,000 $ 2,610,000

Cost of goods sold and operating expenses 1,392,000 1,957,500

******************************************************************************************

Net operating income $ 348,000 $ 652,500

Average invested assets $ 3,480,000 $ 2,718,750

*******************************************************************************************

Part 1a.

ROI Fruit Division = 348,000/3,480,000 = 10%

ROI Flower Division = 652,500/2,718,750 = 24%

Residual Income Fruit Division = 348,000 - (3,480,000 * 0.06) = 139,200

Residual Income Flower Division = 652,500 - (2,718,750 * 0.06) = 489.375

Part 1b.

ROI Flower Division > ROI Fruit Division and Residual Income Flower Division > Residual Income Fruit Division,

in consequence Flower Division's manager is performing better.

Part 2.

ROI Fruit Division = 479,000/4,580,000 = 10.5% (Rounding to the next tenth)

ROI Flower Division = 783,500/3,818,750 = 20.5% (Rounding to the next tenth)

Residual Income Fruit Division = 479,000 - (4,580,000 * 0.06) = 204,200

Residual Income Flower Division = 783,500 - (3,818,750 * 0.06) = 554.375

Part 3.

Flower Division: Manager will support the investment because the division will have a higher ROI and Residual Income

Fruit Division: Manager will also support the investment because the division will have a higher Residual Income, despite the fact the ROI will decrease temporarily 3.5%. The division will perform better in the upcoming years after the investment is made.

Answer 2

FRUIT DIVISION :

ROI = 10%

RESIDUAL INCOME = 139,200

FLOWER DIVISION :

ROI = 24%

RESIDUAL INCOME = 489,375

B.) FRUIT DIVISION :

ROI = 10. 46%

RESIDUAL INCOME = 204,200

FLOWER DIVISION :

ROI = 20.52%

RESIDUAL INCOME = 554,375
