The company paid dividends of $401,250 last year. The “Investment in Brier Company” on the balance sheet represents an investment in the stock of another company.

Required:
1.

Compute the company’s margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI) for last year. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 1 decimal place.)


Margin % 17
Turnover 2.21
ROI % 37.6

2. The board of directors of Bridger, Inc., has set a minimum required return of 17%. What was the company’s residual income last year?

Residual income $ 449,820

The only answer I've gotten right is the Margin. I think I'm failing on how to get Avg Op Assets. I also don't know how dividends effects the assets, but I'm guessing it does?
