Residual Income                             $80,600

Explanation:

Residual income = Operating income - Equity charge.

First lets calculate the operating income,

Sales                                               4,705,000

Less Cost of goods sold                (2,730,000)

Gross profit                                     1,975,000

Less operating expense                (1,552,000)

Operating income                            423,000

Equity charge (4,280,000*0.08)     (342,400)

Residual Income                               $80,600

Hope that helps.
