Answer:

Residua  income =  $80,000  

Explanation:

Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.  

It is used to evaluate the financial performance of a division or department.

The a positive residual value indicate a good performance, hence the higher the residual value the better

It is computed as follows:  

Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)  

Controllable profit = 560,000,  

Interest on capital = × 12% × 4,000,000 =  480,000  

Residual income = 560,000 - 480,000=  80,000  

Residua  income =  $80,000
