    On the page 74, BPP practice and revision Kit F5 has the following question:
    Box Co 20 mins
    The following scenario relates to questions 275 – 279.
    Box Co has an operating profit of $20,000, and operating assets of $95,000. The cost of capital is 12%. There is a proposed investment of $10,000 which will increase the operating profit by $1,400.

    276.What is the RI with and without the proposed investment?
    Without investment: ? $
    With investment: ? $

    The answer in the book is as follow:

    276 The correct answers are: Before investment: $8,600, After investment $7,950.

    Before Investment After Investment
    $ $
    Divisional profit 20,000 21,400
    Depreciation (850)
    Imputed interest (12% of $95,000) (11,400)
    Imputed interest (12% of $105,000) (12,600)
    Residual income 8,600 7,950
    I think that the information given in the question is not adequate. There is no information about the depreciation after investment. I wonder how can derive the depreciation of $850 to arrive at the residual income of 7,950 after investment. If there is no depreciation, the answer should be 8800 for residual income after investment!
    Maybe it is a typo of this book!
    Please help me to explain this!
    Thank you!

    From what you have typed it does seem that there is information missing from the question.

    I am away from home until Tuesday and I don’t have the Revision Kit with me, so I cannot check. Please copy and paste and ask this question again on Tuesday and then I will be able to answer you for certain 🙂

    Here I had copied and pasted what was exactly in the book. There are some other typos in revision Kit that BPP publishing house should take into considerations.

    I know that the are certainly some other typing errors. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about it – we are not connected to BPP (and to be fair to them, Kaplan and the other publishers have errors as well!)
