Effect of proposals on divisional performance
A condensed income statement for the Electronics Division of Gihbli Industries Inc. for live year ended December 31 is as follows:
Sales | $1.575,000 |
Cost of goods sold | 891,000 |
Gross profit | $684,000 |
Operating expenses | 558,000 |
Income from operations | $126,000 |
Invested assets | $1,050,000 |
Assume that the Electronics Division received no charges from service departments. The president of Gihbli Industries Inc. has indicated that the division’s return on a $1,050,000 investment must be increased to at least 20% by the end of tin- 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 $300,000 to other divisions at no gain or loss and lease similar equipment. The annual lease payments would be less than the amount of
Proposal 2: Reduce invested assets by discontinuing a product line. This action would eliminate sales of $180,000, reduce cost of goods sold by $119,550, and reduce operating expenses by $60,000. Assets of $112,500 would be transferred to other divisions at no gain or loss.
Proposal 3: Purchase new and more efficient machinery and thereby reduce the cost of goods sold by $189,000 after considering the effects of depreciation expense on the new equipment. Sales would remain unchanged, and the old machinery, which has no remaining book value, would be scrapped at no gain or loss. The new machinery would increase invested assets by $918,750 for the year.

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.
To determine: Profit margin, investment turnover, and return on investment of E Division
Explanation of Solution
Determine ROI of E Division, if income from operations is $126,000, sales are $1,575,000, and assets invested are $1,050,000.

- 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.
