Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Current residual Income is

= current investment base × (Current ROI - Target ROI)

= $9,300,000 × (13% - 9%)

= $9,300,000 × 4%

= $372,000

Now

New residual income is

= (New investment base) × (New ROI - target ROI)

= ($9,300,000 + $5,700,000) × (12.24% - 9%)

= $15,000,000 × 3.24%

= $486,000

Yes, Monarch division should make the investment because the new residual income is more than the present residual income
