Question
!["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
Variable expenses
Contribution margin
Fixed expenses
Net operating income
Divisional average operating assets
$ 21,100,000
13,350,400
7,749,600
5,935,000
$ 1,814,600
$ 4,220,000
The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 18.00% 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 $2,262,500. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be:
$ 9,050,000
$ 2,534,000
Sales
Variable expenses
Fixed expenses
