Answer:

Residual income =$6,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.

It is used to evaluate the financial performance of a division or department.

The a positive residual value indicate a good performance, hence the higher the residual value the better

It is computed as follows:

Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)

Controllable profit = 47,000

Interest on capital = × 13% × 310,000 = 40300

Residual income = 47,000 - 40,300 = 6700

Residual income =$6,700
