Respuesta :

Answer:

$65,000

The computation of the residual income is shown below;

Residual income = Operating income - target income

where,  

Operating income is given in the question  

And, the target income could be calculated by

= Average invested assets × required rate of return

= $1000,000 × 15%

= $150,000

So, the residual income is

= $215,000 - $150,000

= $65,000
