Answer:

A. no yes

The New Manager will be in favor of the new project. Her division's residual income increased from $60,000 to $70,000 using EVA.

EVA is economic value added. It compares the cost of capital with the operating profit to determine the residual income generated.

In the explanation, the ROI was also calculated to determine the division's respective performances before and after the new project. But, the ROI is not relevant for this case.

Explanation:

We shall calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) and the Economic Value Added (EVA) for the two divisions:

Music's Division:

ROI before new project = $100,000/1,000,000 x 100 = 10%

ROI after new project = $170,000/1,500,00 x 100 = 11%

EVA before new project = $100,000 - 1,000,000 x 12% = ($20,000)

EVA after new project = $170,000 - 1,500,000 x 12% = ($10,000)

News Division:

ROI before new project = $300,000/2,000,000 x 100 = 15%

ROI after new project = $370,000/2,500,00 x 100 = 14%

EVA before new project = $300,000 - 2,000,000 x 12% = $60,000

EVA after new project = $370,000 - 2,500,000 x 12% = $70,000
