| Required: | |
| 1. | 
 Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. (Round your Turnover answers to 2 decimal places. Round your Margin and ROI percentage answers to 2 decimal places (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)  | 
       
| 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).)  | 
     
| 3. | 
 Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 20% rate of return.  | 
| a. | 
 If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity?  | 
| b. | 
 If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity?  |
