Explanation of Solution

Profit margin: This ratio gauges the operating profitability by quantifying the amount of income earned from business operations from the sales generated.

Formula of profit margin:

  Profit margin=Income from operationsSales

Investment turnover: This ratio gauges the operating efficiency by quantifying the amount of sales generated from the assets invested.

Formula of investment turnover:

  Investment turnover=SalesInvested assets

Return on investment (ROI): This financial ratio evaluates how efficiently the assets are used in earning income from operations. So, ROI is a tool used to measure and compare the performance of a units or divisions or a companies.

Formula of ROI according to Dupont formula:

  Return on investment = Profit margin × Investment turnover=Income from operationsSales×SalesInvested assets=Income from operationsInvested assets

Income statement: The financial statement which reports revenues and expenses from business operations and the result of those operations as net income or net loss for a particular time period is referred to as income statement.

Determine ROI of E Division, if income from operations is $126,000, sales are $1,575,000, and assets invested are $1,050,000.

  Return on investment =          Profit margin         ×    Investment turnover=Income from operationsSales×SalesInvested assets=$126,000$1,575,000×$1,575,000$1,050,0008.0% ×1.5= 12.0%

(1) Compute cost of goods sold under proposal 1.

  Revised cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold – Depreciation= $891,000–$31,400= $859,600

(2) Compute sales under proposal 2.

  Revised sales = Sales – Reduction= $1,575,000–$180,000= $1,395,000

(3) Compute cost of goods sold under proposal 2.

  Revised cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold – Depreciation= $891,000–$119,550= $771,450

(4) Compute operating expenses under proposal 2.

  Revised operating expenses = Operating expenses – Reduction= $558,000–$60,000= $498,000

(5) Compute cost of goods sold under proposal 3.

  Revised cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold – Depreciation= $891,000–$189,000= $702,000

Compute invested assets for each proposal:

Compute invested assets for proposal 1.

  Invested assets for proposal 1 = Invested assets – Transferred book value= $1,050,000–$300,000= $750,000

Compute invested assets for proposal 2.

  Invested assets for proposal 2 = Invested assets – Increased book value= $1,050,000–$112,500= $937,500

Compute invested assets for proposal 3.

  Invested assets for proposal 3 = Invested assets + Transferred book value= $1,050,000+$918,750= $1,968,750

Explanation of Solution

Ascertain the increase in investment turnover of E Division, if income from operations is $126,000 and sales are $1,575,000.

Step 1: Find the required investment turnover to earn desired ROI of 20%.

  Return on investment =          Profit margin         ×    Investment turnover=Income from operationsSales×Investment turnover20%=$126,000$1,575,000×Investment turnover

  20% = 8.0% ×Investment turnoverInvestment turnover20%8%=2.5

Step 2: Find the increase in investment turnover, if required investment turnover is 2.5 (From Step 1), and current investment turnover is 1.50 (From Part (1)).

  Increase in turnover = Required turnover – Current turnover= 2.5–1.50= 1.0
