    CPA · Question 12 · Area 1: Business Analysis

    A company has a Return on Investment (ROI) of 18% and a Residual Income (RI) of $20,000. The company's required rate of return (hurdle rate) is 12%. What is the company's Average Invested Capital?

    Answer options:

    A.

    $111,111

    B.

    $166,667

    C.

    $333,333

    D.

    $1,000,000

    How to approach this question

    Use the formula: Residual Income = (ROI - Cost of Capital) * Invested Capital. Rearrange to solve for Capital.

    Full Answer

    C.$333,333✓ Correct
    C
    The spread is 18% - 12% = 6%. This 6% excess return on capital equals $20,000. Therefore, Capital = $20,000 / 0.06 = $333,333.

    Common mistakes

    Trying to solve for Income first without realizing you can solve directly using the percentage spread.
