An Investment division earns return on investment of 15% and a residual income of $200000.The cost of capital is 18%. A new project gives a ROCE of 16%. If the new project is accepted what will happen to the division’s ROI and RI ?
The ROI will increase because the project return of 16% is more than the current return of 15%. The RI will fall, because the return from the investment is less that the cost of capital.
