Biddle Company uses EVA to evaluate the performance of division managers. For the Wallace Division, after-tax divisional income was
$635,000 in year 3.
The company adjusts the after-tax income for advertising expenses. First, it adds the annual advertising expenses back to after-tax
divisional income. Second, the company managers believe that advertising has a three-year positive effect on the sale of the
company's products, so it amortizes advertising over three years. Advertising expenses in year 1 will be expensed 50 percent, 35
percent in year 2, and 15 percent in year 3. Advertising expenses in year 2 will be expensed 50 percent, 35 percent in year 3, and 15
percent in year 4. Advertising expenses in year 3 will be amortized 50 percent, 35 percent in year 4, and 15 percent in year 5. Third,
unamortized advertising expenses become part of the divisional investment in the EVA calculations. Wallace Division incurred

- Dantrell Palmer has just been appointed manager of Kirchner Glass Products Division. 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).
