Effect of proposals on divisional performance A condensed income statement for the Commercial Division of Maxell Manufacturing Inc. for the year ended December 31, 20Y9, is as follows: Sales 3,500,000 Cost of goods sold 2,480,000 Gross profit 1,020,000 Operating expenses 600,000 Income from operations 420,000 Invested assets 2,500,000 Assume that the Commercial Division received no charges from service departments. The president of Maxell Manufacturing has indicated that the division's return on a 2,500,000 investment must be increased to at least 21% by the end of the next year if operations are to continue. The division manager is considering the following three proposals: Proposal 1: Transfer equipment with a book value of 312,500 to other divisions at no gain or loss and lease similar equipment. The annual lease payments would exceed the amount of depreciation expense on the old equipment by 105,000. This increase in expense would be included as part of the cost of goods sold. Sales would remain unchanged. Proposal 2: Purchase new and more efficient machining equipment and thereby reduce the cost of goods sold by 560,000 after considering the effects of depreciation expense on the new equipment. Sales would remain unchanged, and the old equipment, which has no remaining book value, would be scrapped at no gain or loss. The new equipment would increase invested assets by an additional 1,875,000 for the year. Proposal 3: Reduce invested assets by discontinuing a product line. This action would eliminate sales of 595,000, reduce cost of goods sold by 406,700, and reduce operating expenses by 175,000. Assets of 1,338,000 would be transferred to other divisions at no gain or loss. Instructions 1. using the DuPont formula for return on investment, determine the profit margin, investment turnover, and return on investment for the Commercial Division for the past year. 2. Prepare condensed estimated income statements and compute the invested assets for each proposal. 3. Using the DuPont formula for return on investment, determine the profit margin, investment turnover, and return on investment for each proposal. (Round the investment turnover and return on investment to one decimal place.) 4. Which of the three proposals would meet the required 21% return on investment? 5. If the Commercial Division were in an industry where the profit margin could not be increased, how much would the investment turnover have to increase to meet the presidents required 21% return on investment?
Evaluating division performance Last Resort Industries Inc. is a privately held diversified company with live separate divisions organized as investment centers. A condensed income statement for the Specialty Products Division for the past year, assuming no service department charges, is as follows: Last Resort Industries Inc.Specialty Products Division Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31,20Y5 Sales 32,400,000 Cost of goods sold 24,300,000 Gross profit 8,100,000 Operating expenses 3,240,000 Income from operations 4,860,000 Invested assets 27,000,000 The manager of the Specialty Products Division was recently presented with the opportunity to add an additional product line, which would require invested assets of 14,400,000. A projected income statement for the new product line is as follows: New Product Line Projected Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31,20Y6 Sales 12,960,000 Cost of goods sold 7,500,000 Gross profit 5,460,000 Operating expenses 3,127,200 Income from operations 2,332,800 The Specialty Products Division currently has 27,000,000 in invested assets, and Last Resort Industries Inc.s overall return on investment, including all divisions, is 10%. Each division manager is evaluated on the basis of divisional return on investment. A bonus is paid, in 58,000 increments, for each whole percentage point that the divisions return on investment exceeds the company average. The president is concerned that the manager of the Specialty Products Division rejected the addition of the new product line, even though all estimates indicated that the product line would be profitable and would increase overall company income. You have been asked to analyze the possible reasons the Specialty Products Division manager rejected the new product line. 1. Determine the return on investment for the Specialty Products Division for the past year. 2. Determine the Specialty Products Division managers bonus for the past year. 3. Determine the estimated return on investment for the new product line. Round whole percents to one decimal place and investment turnover to two decimal places. 4. Why might the manager of the Specialty Products Division decide to reject the new product line? Support your answer by determining the projected return on investment for 20Y6, assuming that the new product line was launched in the Specialty Products Division, and 20Y6 actual operating results were similar to those of 20Y5. 5. Suggest an alternative performance measure for motivating division managers to accept new investment opportunities that would increase the overall company income and return on investment.
