Operating income, instead of net income, should be used to determine ROI. Net income may include gains, losses, or nonoperating expenses that do not reflect Kent's performance. If Slatten's objective is profit maximization, residual income (RI), rather than ROI can measure operating performance better.

a. Operating income, instead of net income, should be used to
determine the ROI for the Kent investment center because operating income is a better measurement of Kent’s operating performance. Net income may include gains, losses, or non- operating expenses that do not reflect Kent’s performance consistently.
b. Operating assets, instead of total assets, should be used to
determine the ROI for the Kent investment center because operating assets is a better measurement. Total assets may include assets that are not used in operation, thus causing the denominator of ROI to be misleading.
c. Operating assets = Total assets – Non-operating assets
Operating assets = $183,790 – $9,000 = $174,790 Operating income ÷ Operating assets = ROI $29,020 ÷ $174,790 = 16.60%
d. If ROI is the only performance measure for Kent’s
performance, the new investment would hurt Kent’s manager if the new ROI decreases. Kent’s return on the new investment opportunity is 15%, lower than the current ROI, which will drag the original ROI down, thus hurting Kent’s performance measure. Further computation follows. Problem 9-20A (continued)
Income from New Investment = $100,000 x 15% = $15,000
New Operating income = $29,020 + $15,000 = $44,020 New Operating assets = $174,790 + $100,000 = $274,790 New ROI = $44,020 ÷ $274,790 = 16.02%
e. If Slatten’s objective is profit maximization, residual income
(RI), rather than ROI can measure operating performance to reflect that objective better. Further computation follows.
Original RI = $29,020 – $174,790 x 12% = $8,045.20
New RI = $44,020 – $274,790 x 12% = $11,045.20 If Slatten uses RI, instead of ROI, for performance evaluation, the manager would receive a better evaluation and reward. Consequently, the manager would be encouraged to pursue the company’s objectives, rather than personal objectives.
