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 depreciated, obsolete equipment.

To encourage investment in R&D, Bisbee 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. Western Division of Bisbee shows after-tax income of $8.4 million for year 2. R&D expenditures in year 1 amounted to $3.8 million and in year 2, R&D expenditures were $4.9 million. For purposes of computing EVA, Bisbee assumes all R&D expenditures are made at the beginning of the year. Before adjusting for R&D, Western Division shows assets of $30.6 million at the beginning of year 2 and current liabilities of $680,000. Bisbee computes EVA using divisional investment at the beginning of the year and a 14 percent cost of capital.…arrow_forward

Assume that Mendoza is exploring whether to enter a complementary line of business. The existing business line generates annual cash revenues of approximately $5,000,000 and cash expenses of $3,600,000, one-third of which are labor costs. The current level of investment in this existing division is $12,000,000. (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 $30,000 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 $400,000 per year. Raw materials costs associated with the new line are expected to be $1,200,000 per year, while the…arrow_forward
