Wyalusing Industries has manufactured prefabricated houses for over 20 years. The houses are constructed
in sections to be assembled on customers’ lots. Wyalusing expanded into the precut housing market
when it acquired Fairmont Company, one of its suppliers. In this market, various types of lumber are
precut into the appropriate lengths, banded into packages, and shipped to customers’ lots for assembly.
Wyalusing designated the Fairmont Division as an investment center. Wyalusing uses return on investment
(ROI) as a performance measure with investment defined as average productive assets. Management
bonuses are based in part on ROI. All investments are expected to earn a minimum return of 15 percent
before income taxes. Fairmont’s ROI has ranged from 19.3 to 22.1 percent since it was acquired. Fairmont
had an investment opportunity in 20×1 that had an estimated ROI of 18 percent. Fairmont’s management
decided against the investment because it believed the investment would decrease the division’s overall
ROI. The 20×1 income statement for Fairmont Division follows. The division’s productive assets were
$12,600,000 at the end of 20×1, a 5 percent increase over the balance at the beginning of the year.
