[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) Marfar Industries produces metal stamping equipment. The company expanded vertically several years ago by acquiring Bent Press Company, one of its suppliers. Marfar decided to maintain Bent's separate identity and therefore established the Bent Press division as one of its investment centers. Marfar evaluates its divisions on the basis of ROL. Management bonuses are also based on ROI. All investments in operating assets are expected to earn a minimum required rate of return of 12 percent. Bent's ROI has ranged from 15 percent to 18 percent since it was acquired by Marfar. During the past year, Bent had an investment opportunity that would have yielded an estimated rate of return of 14 percent. Bent's management decided against the investment because it believed the investment would decrease the division's overall ROI. Last year's income statement for the Bent Press division is given. The division's operating assets employed were $14,310,000 at the end of the year, which represents a 6 percent increase over the previous year-end balance.
