Which of the following statements contrasting residual income with return on investment is correct? A. ROI may lead to goal incongruence while residual income does not. B. ROI is a lagging indicator while residual income is a leading indicator. C. Residual income is a financial measure while return on investment emphasizes the customer perspective. D. Residual income is a long-term measure while ROI is a short-term measure. ROI can lead to goal incongruence because a project that earns higher than the hurdle rate but decreases ROI would be unattractive to a manager. However, any project earning higher than the hurdle rate increases residual income, avoiding goal incongruence. AACSB: Reflective Thinking 10-89 © 2014 by McGraw-Hill Education.

What is the maximum transfer price? a. $175,000 increase in profits = $425,000 inside cost - $600,000 outside cost Outside cost: 50,000 units × $12 = $600,000 Inside cost: 40,000 units from excess capacity × variable cost $7.50 = $300,000 + 10,000 units × ($7.50 variable cost + $5.00 opportunity cost) = $125,000 for a total inside cost of $425,000 b. $8.50 = $425,000 inside cost/50,000 units c. $12.00 outside market price to Austin Feedback: Profit will increase by the difference between the variable cost to manufacture and the market price to purchase, minus the opportunity cost to the selling division. The minimum transfer price with excess capacity is the variable cost, plus the opportunity cost to the selling division. The maximum transfer price is the buying division's market price.
