Problem 10-18 Return on Investment (ROI) and Residual Income [LO10-1, LO10-2] "I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line," said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company’s Office Products Division. "But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division’s return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don’t want any letdown." Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company’s Office Products Division for this year are given below: Sales $ 10,000,000 Variable expenses 6,000,000 Contribution margin 4,000,000 Fixed expenses 3,200,000 Net operating income $ 800,000 Divisional average operating assets $ 4,000,000 The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 15% this year (considering all divisions). Next year the Office Products Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require an additional investment that would increase average operating assets by $1,000,000. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be: Sales $2,000,000 Variable expenses 60% of sales Fixed expenses $640,000

Return on investment is the profitability or the performance measurement tool that determines the percentage of returns being gained from total investments. It determines the efficiency of the investment and its project to generate higher returns from its operations.

The residual income is the net income in the hands of the business after the payment of all operating and nonoperating expenses and other payments.

The total return on investment inclusive of the present and the new line is 19.20%.

The total residual income is $360,000.

The computation of the return on investment is computed in the table attached below.
