Question

 The following information is available for the South Division of XYZ Company and the single product it manufactures:  selling price per unit ...........................     $20 variable costs per unit ..........................     $14 units sold .......................................   75,000 turnover .........................................    1.20 residual income ..................................   $150,000 margin ...........................................     20%  Calculate what the South Division's residual income would have been if they had sold 91,000 units.  Do not use decimals in your answer. 

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Las Year Contribution Margin = 75,000 ($20 – 14) = $450,000

Turnover Ratio = Sales / Total Assets = 1.20

Last Year Sales = $20 x 75,000 = $1,500,000

Total Asset = Sales / Turnover Ratio = $1,500,000 / 1.20 = $1,250,000

Residual Income of Last year = Contribution margin – (Cost of Capital x Invested Capital) = $150,000

$450,000 – (Cost of Capital x $1,250,000) = $150,000

Cost of Capital x $1,250,000 = $450,000 - $150,000 = $300,000

Cost of Capital = $300,000 / $1,250,000 = 0.24 or 24%

Calculation of Residual Income if South Division sold 91,000 Units

Residual Income = Contribution margin – (Cost of Capital x Invested Capital)

Contribution margin on sale of 91,000 Units = 91,000 ($20 - $14) = $546,000

Residual Income = $546,000 – (24% x $1,250,000) = $546,000 - $300,000 = $246,000
