Answer 1

Answer:

Please see the detailed solution below:

Explanation:

Solution 1:

Average Operating Assets = (Beginning Operating Assets + Ending Operating Assets) / 2

Average Operating Assets = ($1,850,000 + $1,890,000) / 2

Average Operating Assets = $3,740,000 / 2

Average Operating Assets = $1,870,000

Solution 2:

Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales

Margin = $589,050 / $3,927,000

Margin = 0.15 i.e., 15%

Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets

Turnover = $3,927,000 / $1,870,000

Turnover = 2.1

Return on Investment = Margin x Turnover

Return on Investment = 15% x 2.1

Return on Investment = 31.5%

Solution 3:

Residual Income = Net Operating Income - (Minimum Required Rate of Return x Average Operating Assets)

Residual Income = $589,050 - (15% x $1,870,000)

Residual Income = $589,050 - $280,500

Residual Income = $308,550
