Oooh, this one's a brain-teaser! I'm leaning towards B, but I'm also wondering if the investment center has a secret stash of magic beans that could make the numbers work out differently.

This is a classic case of 'the numbers don't lie, but the accountants do.' I'm betting on B. Residual Income and ROI both go down. Unless, of course, the investment center is run by magicians.

I'm going to go with D. If the project's ROI is lower, that means Residual Income will increase, but ROI will decrease. It's like getting a participation trophy, but with less actual performance.

That makes sense. It's like a trade-off between the two performance measures.

I think you're right. Residual Income would increase, but ROI would decrease.

Hmm, I think the answer is B. The project's ROI is lower than the current ROI, so that should decrease both Residual Income and ROI.

This is a tricky one! The key is to understand how ROI and Residual Income are affected when the project's ROI is lower than the existing ROI.

That makes sense, since the project's ROI is lower than the existing ROI.

But wouldn't the overall performance measure be affected negatively?
