- Profit center responsibility reporting for a service company Red Line Railroad Inc. has three regional divisions organized as profit centers. The chief executive officer (CEO) evaluates divisional performance, using operating income as a percent of revenues. The following quarterly income and expense accounts were provided from the trial balance as of December 31: The company operates three support departments: Shareholder Relations, Customer Support, and Legal. The Shareholder Relations Department conducts a variety of services for shareholders of the company. The Customer Support Department is the companys point of contact for new service, complaints, and requests for repair. The department believes that the number of customer contacts is a cost driver for this work. The Legal Department provides legal services for division management. The department believes that the number of hours billed is a cost driver for this work. The following additional information has been gathered: Instructions 1. Prepare quarterly income statements showing operating income for the three divisions. Use three column headings: East, West, and Central. 2. Identify the most successful division according to the profit margin. Round to the nearest whole percent. 3.

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.
