I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line," said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company’s Office Products Division. "But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division’s return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don’t want any letdown." Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company’s Office Products Division for this year are given below:
Sales $10,000,000
Variable expenses 6,000,000
Contribution margin 4,000,000
Fixed expenses 3,200,000
Net operating income $800,000
Divisional operating assets $4,000,000

Sales $2,000,000
Variable expenses 60% of sales
Fixed expenses $640,000
