Margin Turnover ROI
Division A _% __ %
Division B _% __ %
Division C _% __ %
2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division. (Loss amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your Required Rate of Return percentage answers to 2 decimal places (i. e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)
