Finores Ltd operates a chain of budget seafood restaurants as well as its own fishing fleet. Finores is structured into three divisions: the Negro Division and the Sina Division, which manage restaurants, and the Fleet Division which operates a fishing fleet. The company uses return on investment to evaluate the performance of each division. For the purpose of calculating divisional ROI, invested capital is defined as total assets less current liabilities, and divisional operating profit after tax is used. Each division is required to achieve an ROI of at least 9% after tax. The weighted average cost of capital is 7%. The company income tax rate is 30%. The following data relates to the financial performance for the last year: Operating profit before $ 150,000 $ 38,000 $ 25,000 ax 1,420,000 207,000 650,000 Current liabilities 310,000 85,000 73,000 Two years ago, the Fleet Division replaced most of its assets. The Sina Division is the oldest division and owns all of its assets, while the Negro Division leases most of its restaurant sites. The lease payments are treated as an expense. Requked: 1.
