From the calculations done in part b-1 we can see that Medical Supplies has highest return on assets

c.

Return on assets of entire corporation = [Total net income(after tax) of entire corporation / Total Assets]*100

Total net income(after tax) of entire corporation = 1,890,000 + 597,000 + 344,000 = 2,831,000

Total Assets = 8,370,000 + 8,380,000 + 3,140,000 = 19,890,000

Return on assets of entire corporation = [2,831,000/ 19,890,000]*100 = 0.1423 * 100 = 14.23%

d.

If the $8,380,000 investment in the heavy machinery division is sold off and redeployed in the medical supplies subsidiary

The additional net income in Medical Supplies = [1,890,000/ 8,370,000]* 8,380,000 = $1,892,258

Total net income(after tax) of entire corporation = 1,890,000 + 597,000 + 1,892,258 = 4,379,258

Total investments in assets will remain the same.

Return on assets of entire corporation = [4,379,258/ 19,890,000]*100 = 0.2202 * 100 = 22.02%
