Answer 1

$238,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Datford company reported the following financial data

Total assessment of $5,100,000

Investment center income of $850,000

Target income of 12%

Therefore the residual income for this division can be calculated as follows

= $5,100,000 × 12/100

= $5,100,000 × 0.12

= $612,000

$850,000-$612,000

= $238,000

Hence the residual income is $238,000
