    Residual income for the division = $872,000

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Operating income = $8,000,000

    Operating assets = $44,800,000

    Additional operating assets = $8,500,000

    Additional operating income = $1,400,000

    Target return on investment (ROI) = 16%

    Computation:

    Total operating assets = $44,800,000 + $8,500,000

    Total operating assets = $53,300,000

    Total operating income = $8,000,000 + $1,400,000

    Total operating income = $9,400,000

    Required Income = Total operating assets * Return on investment (ROI)

    Required Income = $53,300,000 * 16%

    Required Income = $8,528,000

    Residual income for the division = Total operating income - Required Income

    Residual income for the division = $9,400,000 - $8,528,000

    Residual income for the division = $872,000
