The Solution

Note : Investment in Buisson, S.A. and undeveloped land do not help the company in carrying out its main operations and hence the same are not taken in the operating assets.

1. Average operating assets = [ Beginning operating assets + Ending operating assets ] / 2 = [ $1,830,000 + $1,870,000 ] / 2 = $1,850,000

2. Margin = [ Net operating income / Sales ] * 100 = [ $769,600 / $4,810,000 ] * 100 = 16%

Turnover = Sales / Average operating assets = $4,810,000 / $1,850,000 = 2.6

Return on Investment ( ROI ) = [ Net operating income / Average operating assets ] * 100 = [ $769,600 / $1,850,000 ] * 100 = 41.6%

3. Residual income = Net operating income - [ Average operating assets * Minimum required rate of return ] = $769,600 - [ $1,850,000 * 15% ] = $492,100
