A division has a residual income of $240,000 and a net profit before imputed interest of $640,000. If it uses a rate of 10% for computing imputed interest on its invested capital, what is its return on investment (ROI) to the nearest whole number? A 4% B 10% C 16% D 27%
Why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers. It has answers and explanations.
The notional interest must be 640,000 – 240,000 = 400,000.
Since it is calculated using a rate of 10%, the investment must be 400,000/10% = 4,000,000
Therefore the ROI is 640,000/4,000,000 = 16%.
