Exercise 14-35 (Static) Impact of Leasing on Performance Measures (LO 14-2) The Singer Division of Patio Enterprises currently earns $2.34 million and has divisional assets of $19.5 million. The division manager is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will add to profit. The investment has a cost of $3,375,000 and will have a yearly cash flow of $840,000. The asset will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a six-year life and is expected to have no salvage value. Divisional performance is measured using ROI with beginning-of-year net book values in the denominator. The company's cost of capital is 9 percent. Ignore taxes. The division manager learns that he has the option to lease the asset on a year-to-year lease for $740,000 per year. All depreciation and other tax benefits would accrue to the lessor. Required: What is the divisional ROI if the asset is leased? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1).)
