Residual I R id l Income (Continued) (C i d)

The objective of maximising ROI may induce managers of highly profitable divisions to j p j , p reject projects that, from the viewpoint of the organisation as a whole, should be accepted. Goal congruence is more likely to be promoted by using residual income rather than ROI.

Choosing h Time H i Ch i the Ti Horizon

The second step in designing accounting-based accountingperformance measures is choosing the time horizon of each performance measure. The ROI, RI, EVA and ROS calculations represent the results of a single time period, a year in the example of Ye Olde Brewery. Many companies evaluate subunits on the basis of y p ROI, RI, EVA and ROS over multiple years.

Slide 19.62

Choosing M Ch i Measurement Alternatives Al i

The fourth step in designing accountingaccountingbased performance measures is choosing a measurement alternative for each performance p measure. The current cost of an asset is the cost now t t of purchasing an identical asset to the one currently held.

Bhimani, Horngren, Datar and Rajan, Management and Cost Accounting, 5th Edition, Pearson Education Limited 2012

Slide 19.63

Choosing Measurement Alternatives (Continued) Al i (C i d)

A drawback of using current costs is that obtaining current-cost estimates for some currentassets can be difficult. HistoricalHistorical-cost asset measurement methods generally consider the net book value of the asset.

Choosing Measurement Alternatives (Continued) Al i (C i d)

The fifth step in designing accounting-based accountingperformance measures is choosing a target level of performance. p HistoricalHistorical-cost measures are often inadequate for measuring economic returns on new investments and sometimes create disincentives for expansion.

The B i TradeTh Basic Trade-Off T d

Performance evaluation often affects managers and employees rewards. Compensation arrangements run the range from a flat salary with no direct performanceperformancebased incentive to rewards based only on performance.
