Please solve Problem B.

It is the end of the third quarter, and Sarah is evaluating the performance of two key divisions in the company. Both divisions had $54,000 cash available for investment in the fourth quarter, so Sarah is now analyzing each division before a potential investment. She has gathered the following condensed income statements and selected information from the balance sheet for each division. The company's minimum required rate of return is 10%, while its weighted average cost of capital is 9%. Its effective tax rate is 25% Calculate the current ROI, RI, and EVA for each division through the third quarter. For ROI purposes, operating assets are considered investments. (Enter ROI as a decimal, not as a percentage. Round ROI to 4 decimal places, e.g. 0.1526. Enter negative amounts with either a - sign e.g. 15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000). How much would each division need to generate in new operating income in the fourth quarter to reach the company's desired RO of 13% at year-end, assuming each division uses its available $54,000 to purchase a new investment? Assume it is a $54,000 nondepreciable asset but still included in operating assets
