Question 5
1. The ROI of rental division: 825000/11000000=0.075
The ROI of transportation division: 855000/9500000=0.09
2. The RI of rental division: 825000-8800000x12%=-231000
The RI of transportation division: 855000-6700000x12%=51000
3. The alternative RI of rental division: 825000-11000000x12%=-495000
The alternative RI of transportation division: 855000-9500000x12%=-285000
4. WACC=0.15x6/15+(1-0.4)x9/15x0.1=0.096
The EVA of rental division: 825000-8800000x0.096=-19800
The EVA of transportation division: 855000-6700000x0.096=211800
5. Transportation division does better than rental division since the ROI, RI and EVA of transportation division are greater than rental division.
6. If there is disorganization in the company, each division will not co-operate with the others, fight for resources and make competition with the others. These cause each division not following the company’s goal and finally goal in congruence occurs.
