Question

Midlands Design Ltd. of Manchester, England, is a company specializing in providing design services to residential developers. Last year the company had net operating income of £410,000 on sales of £1,400,000. The company’s average operating assets for the year were £1,600,000 and its minimum required rate of return was 14%. (The currency in the United Kingdom is the pound, denoted by £.)

Compute the company’s residual income for the year.

Average operating assets   €1,600,000

Net operating income   €410,000

Minimum required return   224,000

Residual income   €

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Caluculation of Residual Income:

Residual Income = € 4,10,000 - ( 14% * 16,00,000 )

   = €  4,10,000 -  € 2,24,000

   =  € 1,86,000

(B). Minimum Required Rate of Return:

   = 16,00,000 * 14 / 100

   = 2,24,000

   OR

= 16,00,000 * 14%

   = 2,24,000

Residual Income = Net Operating Income - (Minimum required rate of return * Average Operating Assets)
