REVISED PROBLEM 13-42

ACC 650 - Management Accounting

Megatronics Corporation, a massive retailer of electronic products, is organized in four separate divisions.
The four divisional managers are evaluated at year-end, and bonuses are awarded based on ROI.
Last year, the company as a whole produced a 13 percent return on its investment.
During the past week, management of the company’s Northeast Division was approached about the
possibility of buying a competitor that had decided to redirect its retail activities. (If the competitor is
acquired, it will be acquired at its book value.) The data that follow relate to recent performance of the
Northeast Division and the competitor:

NE DIVISION COMPETITOR
SALES $8,600,000 $4,250,000
VARIABLE COSTS 75% of sales 60% of sales
FIXED COSTS $1,800,000 $1,600,000
INVESTED CAPITAL $3,100,000 $225,000

Management has determined that in order to upgrade the competitor to Megatronics’ standards, an
additional $275,000 of invested capital would be needed.

REQUIRED:

5. Assume that Megatronics uses residual income to evaluate performance and desires a 12 percent
minimum return on invested capital. Compute the current residual income of the Northeast
Division and the division’s residual income if the competitor is acquired. Will divisional management
be likely to change its attitude toward the acquisition? Why?
