The extract from the statement of financial position relate to the two divisions as at 31 December 2017:

                                                                                          Division A                         Division B

                                                                                                $                                     $

Division A incurred $600 000 in advertising expenditure to promote brand image while by Division B spent $840 000 for the same purpose. It is expected that both divisions will benefits from this expenditure commercially in the year 2017 to 2020 inclusive.

In the years 2016 and 2017, Division B spent significant amounts on research and development which were written off as divisional fixed costs in the year of expenditure because they were not meeting the definition of intangible assets as required by IAS 38.The amounts were $900 000 in 2016 and $2 250 000 in 2017.The manager for Division Bis of the opinion that the accounting treatment adopted is correct for reporting externally but does not think it should be used to measure the performance of his division.He believes these expenditures are an investment in which future economic benefits will flow to the division for the next six years. Division A didn't incur reasonable costs in research and development in the years 2016 and 2017.

Division Brelies heavily on delivery vevicles. JK Building Equipment Ltd had the capacity to purchase these vehicles but the divisional manager opted to lease them instead using a short term arrengement that is renewed on an on-going basis. This arrangement resulted in divisional fixed costs of $400 000 incurred as lease rental instalments. If these vehicles were purchased, they could have been having a carrying amount of $2 000 000 at 31 December 2017 after deducting the current year depreciation of $250 000.

Requirement:

a) Compute the Residual income (RI) of each division for 2017             

b) Compute the Economic Value Added (eva) of each division for 2018  

c) Using the information about Division A and Division B to illustrate your answer, should JK use RI or EVA in evaluating performance of these two divisions ( 9 marks)
