Harbor Division has total assets (net of accumulated depreciation) of $630,000 at the beginning of year 1. Harbor also leases a machine for $18,000 annually. Expected divisional income in year 1 is $82,000 including $5,400 in income generated by the leased machine (after the lease payment). Harbor’s cost of capital is 9 percent. Harbor can cancel the lease on the machine without penalty at any time and is considering disposing of it today (the beginning of year 1).
Required:
a. Harbor computes ROI using beginning-of-the-year net assets. What will the divisional ROI be for year 1 assuming Harbor retains the leased machine? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1).)
b. What would divisional ROI be for year 1 assuming Harbor disposes of the leased machine? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1).)

Proctor Corporation has multiple facilities across the United States. Management evaluates each facility based on the capital turnover ratio using the DuPont system. The following information pertains to the facility in Pennsylvania for the past year.
Sales $ 6,300,000 Operating expenses 2,940,000 Total assets (prior to subtracting accumulated depreciation) 10,500,000 Accumulated depreciation 656,250
a. Compute the ROI for the Pennsylvania facility using total assets and assets net of depreciation. b. Find residual income if the company expects a 30 percent return on total assets.
The Ste. Marie Division of Pacific Media Corporation just started operations. It purchased depreciable assets costing $52 million and having a four-year expected life, after which the assets can be salvaged for $10.4 million. In addition, the division has $52 million in assets that are not depreciable. After four years, the division will have $52 million available from these nondepreciable assets. This means that the division has invested $104 million in assets with a salvage value of $62.4 million. Annual depreciation is $10.4 million. Annual operating cash flows are $25 million. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, recognizing the salvage values noted. Ignore taxes. Assume that the division uses beginning-of-year asset values in the denominator for computing ROI.
Required:
a. & b. Compute ROI, using net book value and gross book value. (Enter your answers as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1).)

To encourage investment in R&D, Normandy evaluates its division managers using EVA. The company adjusts accounting income for R&D expenditures by assuming these expenditures create assets with a two-year life. That is, the R&D expenditures are capitalized and then amortized over two years. Aerospace Division of Normandy shows after-tax income of $18.0 million for year 2. R&D expenditures in year 1 amounted to $7.2 million and in year 2, R&D expenditures were $12.0 million. For purposes of computing EVA, Normandy assumes all R&D expenditures are made uniformly over the year. Before adjusting for R&D, Aerospace Division shows assets of $72 million at the beginning of year 2 and current liabilities of $1,500,000.
