b) (56,100)
c) (60,000)
d) 720,000
Answer- If the company purses the investment opportunity this year's combined residual income for the entire company would be closest too = $(60000).
Explanation- Combined residual income for the entire company = $(33000)+ ($27000)
= $(60000)
Residual income for last year =Net Operating income –(Average operating assets*Required rate of return)
= $567000 – ($3000000*20%)
= $567000 - $600000
= $(33000)
Residual income for this year =Net Operating income –(Average operating assets*Required rate of return)
= $153000 – ($900000*20%)
= $153000 - $180000
= $(27000)
Explanation- Net operating income (Sales* Contribution margin ratio) - Fixed costs
= ($1530000*30%) - $306000
= $459000 - $306000
= $153000
