Residual income

SShanda11y ago
A company has capital employed of $500,000. It has a cost of capital of 15% per year and a return on investment of 17% per year. What is the company's residual income? Can I see the calculation please?

The ROI is 17%, so the profit is 17% x 500,000 = 85,000. The cost of capital is 15%, so the RI = 85,000 - (15% x 500,000)
