Is Yokohama's greater amount of residual income an indication that it is better managed? Yes O No

Explanation / Answer

1. The correct answer is :

Notes :

Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales *100

Osaka = 749000 / 10700000 *100

Yokohama = 3330000 / 37000000 *100

Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets

Osaka = 10700000/ 2675000

Yokohama = 37000000/18500000

3. ROI = Margin* Turnover

Osaka = 7% *4

Yokohama = 9% *2

------

2.

Residual Income = Net Operating Income - ( Average Operating Assets *  Minimum Required Rate of Return)

3.No.

This is because the ROI of Osaka is higher.

Osaka Yokohama ROI 28% 18%
