The "Investment in Buisson, S.A.," on the balance sheet represents an investment in the stock of another company. The company's minimum required rate of return of 15%

Required:
1. Compute the company's average operating assets for last year
2. Compute the company's margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROl) for last year. (Round "Margin", "Turnover" and "ROI" to 2 decimal places.)
3. What was the company's residual income last year?

Answer 1

1. $1,930,000

2. Margin = 15%

Turnover = $2.8

Return on investment = 42%

3. $521,100

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The computation of average operating assets for last year is shown below:-

Average operating assets = (Beginning operating assets + Ending operating assets) ÷ 2

= ($2,562,000 - $399,000 - $253,000) + ($2,634,000 - $434,000 - $250,000) ÷ 2

= ($1,910,000 + $1,950,000) ÷ 2

= $3,860,000 ÷ 2

= $1,930,000

2. The computation of company's margin, turnover, and return on investment is shown below:-

Margin = Net operating income ÷ Sales

= $810,600 ÷ $5,404,000

= 15%

Turnover = Sales ÷ Average operating assets

= $5,404,000 ÷ $1,930,000

= $2.8

Return on investment = Margin × Turnover

= 15% × $2.8

= 42%

3. The computation of residual income last year is shown below:-

Residual income last year = Net operating income - Minimum required return

= $810,600 - ($1,930,000 × 15%)

= $810,600 - $289,500

= $521,100

So, we have applied the above formula.
