![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 15.18E
Residual income provides the readymade indicator for the comparison to find out the most profitable investment option.
Explanation of Solution
The relative performance of each division is explained as follows:
Division X | Division Y | Division Z | |
Margin | 12% | 12% | 8% |
Turnover | 2 | 1 | 2 |
ROI | 24% | 20% | 16% |
Residual income | $ 60,000 | $ 24,000 | $ 25,000 |
Division X is earning the highest ROI and residual income and Division Z is earning the lowest ROI and residual income. Hence, Residual income provides the readymade indicator for the comparison to find out the most profitable investment option.
