Morton Industrial produces stamping

42.     LO.4 (ROI; RI) Morton Industrial produces stamping machinery for manufacturers. In 2009, the company expanded vertically by acquiring a supplier, Lancaster Company. Lancaster is now operated as a divisional investment center.

Morton monitors its divisions on the basis of both unit contribution and return on investment (ROI), with investment defined as average operating assets employed. Management bonuses are determined based on ROI. All investments in operating assets are expected to earn a minimum return of 10 percent before income taxes.

Lancaster’s cost of goods sold is entirely variable, whereas the division’s administra- tive expenses are totally fixed. Selling expenses are a mixed cost with 40 percent at- tributed to sales volume. Last year, Lancaster’s ROI was 13.6 percent. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, Lancaster contemplated a capital acquisition with an estimated ROI of 11.5 percent; however, division management decided that the invest- ment would decrease Lancaster’s overall ROI.

The division’s operating assets employed were $15,750,000 at November 30, 2010, a 5 percent increase over the 2009 year-end balance. The division’s 2010 income state- ment follows.

1.    pre-tax ROI, and

2.    residual income calculated on the basis of average operating assets employed.

c.     Explain why the management of the Lancaster Division would have been more likely to accept the contemplated capital acquisition if residual income rather than ROI were used as a performance measure.

d.    Identify several items that Lancaster should control if it is to be evaluated fairly by either the ROI or residual income performance measures.
