Answer 1

1
Beginning Operating assets	1850000	=2497000-400000-247000
Ending Operating assets	1890000	=2571000-433000-248000
Average Operating assets	1870000	=(1850000+1890000)/2
2
Margin = Net operating income/Sales
Turnover = Sales/Average Operating assets
ROI = Margin*Turnover
Margin	14.00%	=680680/4862000
Turnover	2.60	=4862000/1870000
ROI	36.40%	=14%*2.60

Net operating income	680680
Less: Minimum required return	280500	=1870000*15%
Residual Income	400180
