Explanation / Answer

Q1 – Alyeska Services Company

Margin = (net operating income/sales) x 100

Net operating income = $4,400,000

Sales = $17,400,000

Margin = (4,400,000/17,400,000) x 100 = 25.29%

Turnover = sales/average operating assets

Average operating assets = $35,800,000

Sales = 17,400,000

Turnover = 17,400,000/35,800,000 = 48.60%

ROI = margin x turnover

Margin = 25.29%

Turnover = 0.47

ROI = 25.29% x 48.6% = 12.29%

Q2 – Juniper Design Ltd

Computation of residual income –

Residual income = operating income – (operating assets x minimum required rate of return)

Operating income = $490,000

Operating assets = $2,000,000

Minimum required rate of return = 15%

Minimum return on operating assets = $2,000,000 x 15% = $300,000

Residual Income = $490,000 - $300,000 = $190,000

Hence, residual income for Juniper Design is $190,000

For Company A –

Operating income = $420,750

Sales = $2,805,000

Margin = 420,750/2,805,000 = 15%

Average operating assets = $1,650,000

Turnover = $2,805,000/$1,650,000 =1.7

= 15% x 1.7 = 25.5%

For Company B –

Operating income = $415,200

Sales = $2,076,000

Margin = 415,200/2,076,000 = 20%

Turnover = 0.12/0.20 = 0.6

= $2,076,000/0.6 = $3,460,000

For Company C –

                  = 6% x 2.3 = 13.8%

= $3,480,000 x 2.3 = $8,004,000

= $8,004,000 x 6% = $480,240
