Chapter 10, Problem 10E
Determining the Impact of Various Transactions on Investment Turnover, ROI, Residual Income, and Profit Margin
Poseidon Corporation manufactures a variety of gear for water sports. Poseidon has three divisions: Lake, River, and Ocean. Each division is managed as an investment center. During the current year, the Ocean division experienced the following transactions:
a. A special order was accepted at a selling price significantly less than the ordinary selling price. The sale will not impact other sales because this was a one-time order and Ocean has excess capacity. The selling price was in excess of total variable costs.
b. One of three production managers in the Ocean Division submitted his resignation. The position will not be filled due to current efficiencies experienced in the production department.
c. Due to the popularity of open-ocean swimming during the Olympics, the company experienced a surge in sales during the summer months. Sales returned to their normal level for the remainder of the year.
d. Equipment costing $500,000 was purchased to replace fully
e. The company’s after-tax cost of capital increased from 8 percent to 10 percent, with no effect on the minimum required
f. The company’s effective tax rate decreased from 35 percent to 30 percent.
Required:
For each transaction listed in this exercise, determine the impact on investment turnover, return on investment, residual income, and economic value added. Use the following table to organize your answers. Use (I) for increase, (D) for decrease, (N) for no effect, or a question mark (?) if you’re unable to determine the impact of the transaction. Each transaction should be treated independently.

This exercise parallels the machine-purchase decision for the Mendoza Company that is discussed in the body of the chapter. Assume that Mendoza is exploring whether to enter a complementary line of business. The existing business line generates annual cash revenues of approximately $4,590,000 and cash expenses of $3,699,000, one-third of which are labor costs. The current level of investment in this existing division is $13,000,000. (Sales and costs of this division are not affected by the investment decision regarding the complementary line.) Mendoza estimates that incremental (noncash) net working capital of $44,000 will be needed to support the new business line. No additional facilities-level costs would be needed to support the new line—there is currently sufficient excess capacity. However, the new line would require additional cash expenses (overhead costs) of $446,000 per year. Raw materials costs associated with the new line are expected to be $1,520,000 per year, while the…
