Explanation of Solution

Evaluation of N Division’s performance:

By observing the operating results of N Division, the gross profit, income from operations, and revenues, it can be concluded that the performance of the division has increased considerably from 2014 to 2016. To know the actual performance, RPOI is computed in an extended form by using the profit margin, investment turnover as follows:

For 2014:

Return on investment =          Profit margin         ×    Investment turnover=Income from operationsSales×SalesInvested assets=$220,500$1,470,000×$1,470,000$735,00015% ×2.0= 30%

For 2015:

Return on investment =          Profit margin         ×    Investment turnover=Income from operationsSales×SalesInvested assets=$378,000$2,100,000×$2,100,000$1,500,00018% ×1.4= 25.2%

For 2016:

Return on investment =          Profit margin         ×    Investment turnover=Income from operationsSales×SalesInvested assets=$539,000$2,450,000×$2,450,000$3,500,00022% ×0.7= 15.4%

These computations show that the profitability of the division deteriorated from 2014 to 2016, due to the drop in investment turnover. So, the investments could not earn the required income, leading to decreased ROI. The assets invested were unable to earn the enough revenue.

This is a decreasing trend in the division’s performance.
