Expert Solution

a-1. ROI = Operating Income / Operating Assets

Printer Division = 98000 / 560000 = 17.50%

Copier Division = 97940 / 830000 = 11.80%

Fax Division = 55860 / 380000 = 14.70%

a-2. Printer Divisional Manager is currently producing the highest ROI.

b. Based on ROI, Copier division manager would be most eager of accepting the additional investment

c. Based on ROI, Printer Division manager would be least likely of acceptance of the additional investment.

d. Printer Division is the best investment oppurtunity for Baird.

g. Residual Income = Operating Income - Average Operating Assets*Required rate of return

1. At the corporate level = 251800 - 1770000*0.13 = 251800 - 230100 = $ 21,700

2. At the Division level before additional Investment

Printer Division = 98000 - 560000*0.13 = 98000 - 72800 = $ 25,200

Copier Division = 97940 - 830000*0.13 = 97940 - 107900 = - $ 9,960

Fax Division = 55860 - 380000*0.13 = 55860 - 49400 = $ 6460

3. At the investment level Residual Income = Additional Investment (ROI - Required rate of return)

Printer Division = 122000*(14.50-13.00) = 122000*1.50% = $ 1,830

Copier Division = 122000*(13.50 - 13.00) = 122000*0.50% = $ 610

Fax Division = 122000 * (12.50- 13.00) = 122000*-0.50% = - $ 610

4. After Investment = Existing Residual Income + At the Investment Level

Printer Division = 25200 + 1830 = $ 27,030

Copier Division = -9960 + 610 = - $ 9,350

Fax Division = 6460 - 610 = $ 5,850
