### Explanation of Solution

Determine residual income of R Division.

Step 1: Compute minimum acceptable income from operations as a percent of invested assets for R Division.

Minimum acceptable income from operations as a percent of invested assets} = {Invested assets × Minimum acceptable return on assets}= $30,000,000×9%=$2,700,000

Step 2: Determine residual income of R Division.

 Particulars Amount ($) Income from operations$5,400,000 Less minimum acceptable income from operations as a percent of invested assets 2,700,000 Residual income $2,700,000 Table (2) Determine residual income of C Division. Step 1: Compute minimum acceptable income from operations as a percent of invested assets for C Division. Minimum acceptable income from operations as a percent of invested assets} = {Invested assets × Minimum acceptable return on assets}=$25,000,000×9%= \$2,250,000

Step 2: Determine residual income of C Division
