Calculating roi and residual income


Problem:

Wyalusing Industries manufactured prefabricated house. They expanded into pre-cut housing when it acquired Fairmont. Wyalusing uses ROI as a performance measure with investment defined as average productive assets. Management bonuses are based in part of the return on investment (ROI). All investments are expected to earn a minimum return of 15 percent before income taxes. Fairmont's ROI has ranged from 19.3 to 22.1 % since it was acquired. Fairmont had an investment opportunity in 20x1 that had an estimated ROI of 18%. However, they decided against the investment because they felt it would decrease the overall ROI.

The 20x1 income statement for Fairmont division is as follows.
The division productive assets were $12,600,000 at the end of 20x1 a 5% increase over the beginning of the year balance.
