Q35390428 AID: 1825 | 20/03/2019 [Delimiter] [General guidance] [Section: Concepts and reason] Income: Income refers to any revenue earned or accrued through the related sources for the services rendered or any sales done. It is derived after covering the expenses of the period. Expense: Expense is any outflow of cash to earn income for the period. It is the cost to the company. Matching concept insists that expenses should be matched with revenue. Assets: Asset is the resource of a company to generate income. Asset is generally classified into fixed assets, current assets, tangible assets, and intangible assets. Fixed assets are the assets that are used to generate income over a long period. Current assets are the assets that are realized within the current financial year. Tangible assets are the assets that can be felt and touched. Intangible assets are the assets that cannot be felt or touched. [Section: Fundamentals] Net operating income: Net operating income is the income calculated after deducting the total operating and non-operating expenses. It is also termed as earnings before interest and taxes. Operating assets: Operating assets are the assets available for day to day activities of the company. They generate income for the company. Cash is the main form of operating asset. They are not held for sale. Return on investment: Return on investment is the expected revenue to be earned from the investment made within a certain period of time. It is the ratio of operating profit to capital employed. Residual income: When the income is higher than the minimum rate of return, it is known as residual income. When the expenses are paid and the debts are settled, the residual income is arrived. [Delimiter] [Starting Hint] Based on the information given in the question, determine the margin of operating assets. [Delimiter] [Step 1] Determine the margin of operating assets: Margin of operating assets = Operating assets Margin Division 1 =$1,500,000 20% =$300,000 Division 2 =$650,000 20% =$130,000 Therefore, the margin of operating assets of division 1 is $300,000 and division 2 is $130,000. [Explanation] To calculate the residual income, the operating income and margin of operating assets should be calculated. The margins of operating assets are calculated by multiplying the operating assets with the margin. Thus, $1,500,000 is multiplied with 20 percent to obtain $300,000. For division 2, $650,000 is multiplied with 20 percent to obtain $130,000. Therefore, the margin of operating assets of division 1 is $300,000 and division 2 is $130,000. [Common mistakes] It is incorrect to take the turnover along with the margin. The margin of assets should only be calculated. [Hint for next step] Based on the information given in the question, determine the residual income for Division 1 and Division 2. [Delimiter] [Step 2] Determine the residual income for Division 1 and Division 2: Residual income = Operating income Operating assets margin Division 1 =$600,000 $300,000 $300,000 Division 2 =$390,000 $130,000 $260,000 Therefore, the residual income for Division 1 and Division 2 is $300,000 and $260,000, respectively. [Answer]
The residual income for Division 1 is $300,000 and the residual income for Division 2 is $260,000. [Answer End] [Answer Choice: Wrong] The residual income for Division 1 is $290,000 and the residual income for Division 2 is $600,000. [Answer Choice End] [Answer Choice: Wrong] The residual income for Division 1 is $600,000 and the residual income for Division 2 is $290,000. [Answer Choice End] [Answer Choice: Correct] The residual income for Division 1 is $300,000 and the residual income for Division 2 is $260,000. [Answer Choice End] [Answer Choice: Wrong] The residual income for Division 1 is $260,000 and the residual income for Division 2 is $300,000. [Answer Choice End] [Explanation] It is given that the operating income is $600,000 and $390,000 for Division 1 and 2, respectively. It should be deducted by the operating margin to calculate the residual income. Thus, $600,000 is deducted by $300,000 to obtain $300,000. For Division 2, $390,000 is deducted by $130,000 to obtain $260,000. Therefore, the residual income for Division 1 is $300,000 and the residual income for Division 2 is $260,000. [Common mistakes] The margin is 20 percent. It should not be changed. The following formula is incorrect: Residual income = Revnues Operating assets margin The following formula is correct: Residual income = Operating income Operating assets margin
