b. The Board of Directors of Beaker Company has set a minimum required return of 20%. What was the company's residual income last year?

Explanation / Answer

a. Company's margin turnover = Net income / Sales                                           = 22,100 / 414,000                                           = 5.33% Return on Investment = Net Income+ Interest(1-tax rate ) / Book value of Assets                                  = 62,100 + 30,000(1-0.64) / 490,000                                 = 14.87% Tax rate has been calculated as: Tax expense / Net Income for the period; Book Value of Assets has been taken as the average of the assets of two periods; ($470000 + $510000)/2 = $490,000 b.Residual Income = Net operating Income - (required rate of return * average operating assets) Average operating assets =[{ $470,000 - $170,000(land) - $80,000(investment)} + {$510,000 - $170,000(land) - $100,000(investment)}]/2 = ($220,000 + $240,000)2 =$230,000 Residual Income = $62,100 - (0.20 * $230,000) = $16100 a. Company's margin turnover = Net income / Sales                                           = 22,100 / 414,000                                           = 5.33% Return on Investment = Net Income+ Interest(1-tax rate ) / Book value of Assets                                  = 62,100 + 30,000(1-0.64) / 490,000                                 = 14.87% Tax rate has been calculated as: Tax expense / Net Income for the period; Book Value of Assets has been taken as the average of the assets of two periods; ($470000 + $510000)/2 = $490,000 b.Residual Income = Net operating Income - (required rate of return * average operating assets) Average operating assets =[{ $470,000 - $170,000(land) - $80,000(investment)} + {$510,000 - $170,000(land) - $100,000(investment)}]/2 = ($220,000 + $240,000)2 =$230,000 Residual Income = $62,100 - (0.20 * $230,000) = $16100
