"I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line." said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company's Office Products Division. "But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division's return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years. and I don't want any letdown." Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company's Office Products Division for this year are given below: Sales Variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses Net operating income Divisional average operating assets $ 10,000,000 5,000,000 4,000,000 3,200,000 $800,000 $ 4,000,000 The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 15% this year (considering all divisions). Next year the Office Products Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require on additional investment that would increase average) operating assets by $1,000,000. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be: Sales Variable expenses Fixed expenses Required: $ 2,000,000 60% of sales $640,000 1.
