Problem 10-29 Grouper Corporation operates three divisions-Archer, Barrett, and Corvell. Division managers are evaluated based on the division's return on investment, and historically, the Corvell division has consistently outperformed the other two divisions. Grouper's senior management team has recently discovered that the Corvell Division manager has chosen not to invest in projects that would have been beneficial to the organization as a whole, and they are concerned that the current practice of evaluating the division managers' performance using return on investment may have contributed to these decisions. Therefore, the senior management team is considering the use of residual income or EVA to evaluate the division managers' performance. The following data is taken from the most recent year of operations Archer Barrett CorvelI Assets Current liabilities Operating income Minimum rate of return Weighted average cost of capital Tax rate $29,930,000 2,255,500 4,190,200 14% 8% 30% $19,991,000 $7,996,500 330,100 3,398,4701,599,300 14% 8% 30% 758,800 14% 8% 30%
