after tax. asset.
$000 $000 $000 $000
47 69 104 (21)
What is the residual income for this division based on controllable profit and controllable net assets?
(a) $36,600 (b) $56,500 (c) $58,600 (d) $60,700
Dear sir,
Cash (overdraft)
Is a current liability
So why do we add it when we calculate the capital employed

7y ago#1Cash is controlled by head office and so in arriving at the controllable net assets we need to remove the overdraft.
Net assets are arrived at after subtracting the overdraft and so to find out what the net assets are without the overdraft we need to add it.
thanks, Sir
