Answer: $12,250

Explanation:

Given Data;

Sales = $195,000

Operating income = $70,000

Average Operating assets = 385,000 Additional investment = $50,000

minimum rate of return is = 15%.

Residual income = operating income - (minimum required return x operating assets).

= $70,000 - (0.15 * 385,000)

= $12,250

Residual income without the Added investments is $12,250
