Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Residual income is calculated as the net operating income minus the product of the average operating assets and the minimum required rate of return. Given the residual income of $20,000 and net operating income of $50,000, we can set up the equation: $50,000 - ($250,000 * minimum rate of return) = $20,000. Solving for the minimum rate of return gives us 12%.
