Impact of an Asset Disposal on Performance Measures

Harbor Division has total assets (net of accumulated depreciation) of $660,000 at the beginning of year 1. One of the assets is a machine that has a net book value of $60,000. Expected divisional income in year 1 is $92,400 including $5,400 in income generated by the machine (after depreciation). Harbor’s cost of capital is 12 percent. Harbor is considering disposing of the asset today (the beginning of year 1).

Required

  1. a.      Harbor computes ROI using beginning-of-the-year net assets. What will the divisional ROI be for year 1 assuming Harbor retains the asset?
  2. b.      What would divisional ROI be for year 1 assuming Harbor disposes of the asset for its book value (there is no gain or loss on the sale)?
  3. c.       Harbor computes residual income using beginning-of-the-year net assets. What will the divisional residual income be for year 1 assuming Harbor retains the asset?
  4. d.      What would divisional residual income be for year 1 assuming Harbor disposes of the asset for its book value (there is no gain or loss on the sale)?

Veach Division has total assets (net of accumulated depreciation) of $462,000 at the beginning of year 1. One of the assets is a machine that has a net book value of $42,000. Now, assume that Veach has been leasing this machine for $7,200 annually. Expected divisional income in year 1 is $55,440 including $2,940 in income generated by the leased machine (after the lease payment). Veach's cost of capital is 10 percent. Veach can cancel the lease on the machine without penalty at any time. Required: a. Veach computes ROI using beginning-of-the-year net assets. What will the divisional ROI be for year 1 assuming Veach retains the lease on the machine? Note: Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1). b.
