Question

1. The following data refers to the Daniels division of Tippett Inc. Daniels sells variablespeed drills. The standard drill sells for $ 40, and Daniels plans to sell 30,000 units in 2017. Tippett treats Daniels as an investment center with a total attributable investment of $ 800,000. Daniels' annual fixed costs are $ 200,000. Variable cost per standard drill is $ 24. The firm's required rate of return on investment is 15%.

1.1 What is the expected Return on Investment in 2017?

1.2 What is the expected residual income for Daniels in 2017?

1.3 A special order from a unit of the US Government has been received to buy from Daniel 10,000 units every year of the device at the price of $30 each. If the order is accepted, Daniels will have to incur additional annual fixed costs of $30,000 for administration and $150,000 to modify and expand the manufacturing facilities.

Based on the effect on ROI and/or Residual Income for the first year, will the manager accept this order? Why and why not?

ANSWER FOR 1.2 IS 160,000 AND 1.3 ROI will decrease but RI>0

Explanation / Answer

Return on investment=operating income/average investment

Residual income=net operating income-cost of capital

1.1

Expected operating income:

=Contribution margin-fixed costs

=[($40-$24)×30,000]-$200,000

=$280,000

return on investment=operating income/investment

=$280,000/800,000

=35%

1.2

Residual income=expected operating income- cost of capital

=$280,000-(800,000×15%)

=$160,000

1.3

Change in operating income=($30-$24)×10,000 units -$30,000

=$30,000

Return on investment=($280,000+$30,000)/(800,000+150,000)

=32.63%

Residual income=$310,000-(950,000×15%)

=$310,000-$142,500

=$167,500

Special order decrease the return on investment but increase the residual income. So accept the special order
