Required:

1. Calculate the return on investment (ROI) and residual income for each division for last year. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round "ROI" answers to 2 decimal places.)

2. Recalculate ROI and residual income for each division for each independent situation that follows:

a. Operating income increases by 10 percent. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round "ROI" answers to 2 decimal places.)

b. Operating income decreases by 11 percent. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round "ROI" answers to 2 decimal places.)

c. The company invests $248,000 in each division, an amount that generates $106,000 additional income per division. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round "ROI" answers to 2 decimal places.)

d. Coolbrook changes its hurdle rate to 5.76 percent. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round "ROI" answers to 2 decimal places.)

Return on Investment:

Return on investment (ROI) is a measure that calculates the return over an average amount invested; it's used to compute the profitability of a project. If the cost incurred to finance an average investment is less than the ROI, the project should be accepted; however, a project with an ROI that's lower than the cost of financing the project should be rejected. The cost of financing a project is also called the hurdle rate or the minimum rate of return. The excess of the net operating income over the minimum required return (hurdle rate * average investment) is known as residual income.
