Explanation / Answer

Operating income from new investment = [sales*CM ratio]-fixed cost

       = [240000*.70]-144000

        = 24000

Total Operating Income = 270000+24000= 294000

Total Invested asset = 1000000+160000= 1160000

9)ROI = Total operating income /total invested asset'

        =294000/1160000

      = .253 or 25.3%

10a)ROi last year = 270000/1000000 = .27 or 27%

NO,as ROI has decreased from last year (this year it is 25.3%]

10b)ROI from this project = 24000/160000=.15 or 15%

yes ,as it is more than minimum required rate of return (10%)

11)Residual income =operating income -[asset invested *minimum rate]

     = 270000-[1000000*.10]

     = 270000- 100000

      = 170000

12)Residual income : 24000-[160000*.10]

         = 24000- 16000

        = 8000
