Explanation of Solution
Profit margin: This ratio gauges the operating profitability by quantifying the amount of income earned from business operations from the sales generated.
Formula of profit margin:
Investment turnover: This ratio gauges the operating efficiency by quantifying the amount of sales generated from the assets invested.
Formula of investment turnover:
Return on investment (ROI): This financial ratio evaluates how efficiently the assets are used in earning income from operations. So, ROI is a tool used to measure and compare the performance of a units or divisions or a companies.
Formula of ROI according to Dupont formula:
Income statement: The financial statement which reports revenues and expenses from business operations and the result of those operations as net income or net loss for a particular time period is referred to as income statement.
Determine ROI of E Division, if income from operations is $126,000, sales are $1,575,000, and assets invested are $1,050,000.

MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING-ACCESS
- 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: Assume that the Commercial Division received no allocations from support departments. The president of Maxell Manufacturing has indicated that the divisions 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?arrow_forwardDivisional performance analysis and evaluation The vice president of operations of Free Ride Bike Company is evaluating the performance of two divisions organized as investment centers. Invested assets and condensed income statement data for the past year for each division are as follows: Instructions 1.

Using the DuPont formula for return on investment, determine the profit margin, investment turnover, and return on investment for each division. Round percentages and the investment turnover to one decimal place. 3. If managements minimum acceptable return on investment is 10%, determine the residual income for each division. 4. Discuss the evaluation of the two divisions, using the performance measures determined in parts (1), (2), and (3).arrow_forwardEffect of proposals on divisional performance A condensed income statement for the Jet Ski Division of Amazing Rides Inc. for the year ended December 31. 20Y2, is as follows Assume that the Jet Ski Division received no charges from service departments. The president of Amazing Rides has indicated that the division's rate of return on a $15,000,000 investment must be increased to at least 12% 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 J3.000.000 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 $264,000. 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 $480,000. 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 $1,000,000 for the year. Proposal 5? Reduce invested assets by discontinuing the tandem jet ski line. This action would eliminate sales of $2,280,000, cost of goods sold of $1,400,000, and operating expenses of $463,600. Assets of $4,200,000 would be transferred to other divisions at no gain or loss.

He has two years to make the division profitable. If the division is still showing a loss after two years, it will be eliminated, and Dantrell will be reassigned as an assistant divisional manager in another division. The divisional income statement for the most recent year is as follows: Upon arriving at the division, Dantrell requested the following data on the divisions three products: He also gathered data on a proposed new product (Product D). If this product is added, it would displace one of the current products; the quantity that could be produced and sold would equal the quantity sold of the product it displaces, although demand limits the maximum quantity that could be sold to 20,000 units. Because of specialized production equipment, it is not possible for the new product to displace part of the production of a second product. The information on Product D is as follows: Required: 1. Prepare segmented income statements for Products A, B, and C. 2. Determine the products that Dantrell should produce for the coming year. Prepare segmented income statements that prove your combination is the best for the division. By how much will profits improve given the combination that you selected?
