    Adams division:

    Net income - 605000

    Minimum acceptable income = [Total capital employed*Rate of return] = 4000000*0.08=320000

    Residual income = NI-Minimum acceptable income=605000-320000=285000

    Jefferson division:

    Net income - 315000

    Minimum acceptable income = [Total capital employed*Rate of return] = 3250000*0.08=260000

    Residual income = NI-Minimum acceptable income = 315000-260000 = 55000
