The Answer is Average assets: (Beginning assets + Ending assets)/ 2

\begin{aligned} ext { East Division } & = ( \$ 1,500,000 + \$ 1,200,000 ) / 2 \& = \$ 2,700,000 / 2 \& = \$ 1,350,000\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} ext { West Division } & = ( \$ B 40,000 + \$ 1,000,000 ) / 2 \& = \$ 1,840,000 / 2 \& = \$ 920,000\end{aligned}

Minimum acceptable operating income = Average assets × Target rate of return

\begin{aligned} ext { East Division } & = \$ 1,350,000 imes 0.12 \& = \$ 162,000\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} ext { West Division } & = \$ 920,000 imes 0.10 \& = \$ 92,000\end{aligned}

Residual income = Operating income - Minimum acceptable operating income

ext { East Division } = \$ 250,000 - \$ 162,000 = \$ 88 , 000

ext { West Division }=\$ 200,000-\$ 92,000=\$ 108,000
