"I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line," said Fred Halloway, manager of Kirsi
Products' East Division. "But I want to see the numbers before I make a move. Our division's return on
investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don't want any letdown."
Kirsi Products is a decentralized wholesaler with four autonomous divisions. The divisions are
evaluated on the basis of ROI , with year-end bonuses given to divisional managers who have the highest
ROI. Operating results for the company's East Division for last year are given below:
$ 21 ,000,000
13,400,000
Sales
Variable expenses
Contribution margin
Fixed expenses
7,600,000
5,920,000
Net operating income
$ 1,680,000
Divisional operating assets
$ 5,250,000
The company had an overall ROI of 18% last year (considering all divisions). The company's East
Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require an investment of $3 ,000,000.
The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be as follows:
Sales
Variable expenses
Fixed expenses
$ 9,000,000
65% of sales
$ 2,520,000
Required:
1. Compute the East Division's ROI for last year; also compute the ROI as it would appear if the new
product line is added. (Do not round intermediate percentage values. Round your intermed iate
calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the"%" sign in your response.)

2. If you were in Fred Halloway's position, would you accept or reject the new product line?
0 Accept
(•) Reject
3. Why do you suppose headquarters is anxious for the East Division to add the new product line?
0 Adding the new line would decrease the company's overall ROI.
(•) Adding the new line would increase the company's overall ROI.
4. Suppose that the company's minimum required rate of return on operating assets is 15% and that
performance is evaluated using residual income.
