Our company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $4,100,000; sales of $4,525,000; cost of goods sold of $2,550,000; and operating expenses of $1,372,000. assume a target income of 10% of average invested assets. compute residual income for the division:

$193,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Average total assets = $4,100,000

Sales = $4,525,000

Cost of goods sold = $2,550,000

Operating expenses = $1,372,000

Target income = 10% of average invested assets

Net operating income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses

                                     = $4,525,000 - $2,550,000 - $1,372,000

                                     = $603,000

Minimum required return on assets = 10%

Residual income:

= Net operating income - (Minimum required return on assets × Average total assets)

= $603,000 - (10% × $4,100,000)

= $193,000
