Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Residual income = Net operating income - (Average operating assets x Minimum required rate of return)
Residual income = $1,611,120 - ($5,754,000 x 10%)
Residual income = $1,611,120 - $575,400
Residual income = $1,035,720

Therefore, the closest residual income to Cabell Products is $1,035,720, which is option B.
