Return on investment
• Invested capital– The assets that the investment centre has available to
generate profits
• Return on sales– The percentage of each sales dollar that remains as
profit after all the expenses are covered
• Investment turnover– The number of sales dollars generated by every dollar of
invested capital

Return on investment
• Improving ROI– Increase return on sales
By increasing the selling price or sales revenue, or decreasing expenses
– Increase investment turnover By increasing sales revenue or reducing invested capital
– Actions that are taken with the sole purpose of making these ratios more favourable in the short term may have adverse effects on performance in future years

The advantages of ROI
• Very widely used to measure the performance of divisions and managers
• Encourages managers to focus on profits, and the assets required to generate those profits
– Promotes an understanding of the relationship between revenues, costs and assets
• Can be used to evaluate the relative performance of investment centres
– Even when those business units are of different sizes

13-8
The limitations of ROI
• Encourages managers to focus on short-term financial performance at the expense of long-term viability and competitiveness
• Encourages managers to defer asset replacement– To maintain high divisional ROI and apparent high
performance
• Discourages managers from investing in projects which are acceptable from the organisation’s point of view, but decrease the investment centre’s ROI

13-9
Minimising the behavioural problems of ROI
• Use ROI as one of a series of performance measures that focus on both short-term and long-term performance
• Consider alternative ways of measuring invested capital to minimise dysfunctional decisions
• Use alternative financial measures, such as residual income or economic value added

13-10
Residual income
• Residual income (RI)
= profit – (invested capital × imputed interest rate)
• Imputed interest charge– Based on the required rate of return that the firm expects
of its investments, which is based on the organisation’s cost of capital
– Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the weighted average of the cost of funds from all sources of borrowings and equity
Copyright 2006 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management Accounting: Information for managing and creating value 4e By Kim Langfield-Smith
13-11
The advantages of residual income
• More likely to promote goal congruence, compared to ROI
• Takes account of the organisation’s required rate of return in measuring performance
• Encourages investment in projects which yield a positive residual income to the organisation
Copyright 2006 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management Accounting: Information for managing and creating value 4e By Kim Langfield-Smith
13-12
Disadvantages of residual income
• Cannot be used to assess the relative performance of businesses that are of different sizes, unlike ROI
• Formula is biased, in favour of larger businesses, unlike ROI
• Can encourage short-term orientation/focus, as with ROI

13-13
Measuring profit and invested capital
• Total assets – Investment centre manager is responsible for decisions
about all assets
• Total productive assets– Investment centre managers retain non-productive
assets
• Total assets less current liabilities– Investment centre is responsible for decisions about
assets and manages short-term liabilities
• Choose average or end-of-year balances
Copyright 2006 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management Accounting: Information for managing and creating value 4e By Kim Langfield-Smith
13-14
Asset measurement
• Advantages of net book value – Consistency with balance sheet that is prepared for
external reporting purposes– Consistent with the definition of profit
• Advantages of gross book value – Depreciation is arbitrary and should not be allowed to
affect calculations– Depreciating non-current assets may provide a
disincentive to invest in new equipment

Measuring profit
• Profit margin controllable by investment centre manager
– Suitable when the focus is performance of the manager– Encourages managers to focus on profit that they can
control– Motivational impact
• Profit margin attributable to investment centre– To calculate the investment centre ROI

13-19
Measures of shareholder value
• Valuation– Discounted cash flows (DCF) are usually used to
measure value– Future cash flows of the business are discounted taking
into account the risk associated with those cash flows– Value drivers are the activities or actions that create
value for a business Include spread, growth, sustainability and cost of capital
continued

Measures of shareholder value
• Economic value added (EVA)– Measure of the value created over a single accounting
period– The spread between the return generated by the
business activities and the cost of capital
continued
Copyright 2006 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management Accounting: Information for managing and creating value 4e By Kim Langfield-Smith
13-22
Measures of shareholder value
• Weighted average cost of capital– Used in the calculation of EVA and RI
• To improve EVA– Improve profitability without employing additional capital– Borrow additional funds when profits earned are more
than the cost of borrowing– Pay off debt by selling assets
• Limitations of EVA– Potential for manipulation and short-term orientation
continued

13-23
Measures of shareholder value
• Shareholder value added (SVA)
= corporate value – the market value of debt
– Corporate value is the present value of the future cash flows
– Residual value is the value of the firm at the end of the forecast period

Reward systems
• Processes, practices and systems which are used to provide levels of pay and benefits to employees
• Motivation– The processes that account for an individual’s intensity,
direction and persistence of effort towards attaining goals
• Intrinsic rewards– Intangible, arise from the positive experiences of being
satisfied with performing well
• Extrinsic rewards– Given to employees from an external source
Copyright 2006 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management Accounting: Information for managing and creating value 4e By Kim Langfield-Smith
13-25
Theories of motivation
• Herzberg’s theory of work motivation– Hygiene factors
Provide the setting for encouraging employee motivation, but do not themselves motivate employees
Working conditions, wage levels, rules and regulations, relationships with colleagues, job security
– Motivators Factors that relate to job content and which provide
employee motivation Achievement, recognition, the nature of the work,
responsibility, opportunities for personal growth
continued

13-26
Theories of motivation
• Expectancy theory– Employee motivation is a result of the strength of the
relationships between expectancy, instrumentality and valence
– Expectancy: perception that effort will lead to a certain performance
– Instrumentality: perception that performance will lead to desired outcome
– Valance: the attractiveness of the reward
• Motivational theories need to be considered by managers when they are designing performance evaluation and reward systems
Copyright 2006 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management Accounting: Information for managing and creating value 4e By Kim Langfield-Smith
13-27
Performance-related reward systems
• Performance-related pay systems (incentive compensation schemes)
– Link employee rewards for achieving or exceeding some performance targets
• Individual incentive plans– Individuals are rewarded for achieving individual
performance targets – Subjective criteria may also be used– Common at the senior levels of the organisation
continued

13-28
Performance-related reward systems
• Profit-sharing plans– Cash bonuses are paid to each employee, based on a
specified percentage of the company’s profit– Does not tie individual effort to individual rewards
• Employee share plans (share option plans)– Provide employees with the right to purchase shares in
their company, at a specified price at some specified future time
– Commonly used for senior managers, and sometimes more junior managers and employees
– Considered to encourage goal congruence
continued

13-29
Performance-related reward systems
• Gainsharing– Cash bonuses are distributed to employees when the
performance of the company, or their segment of the company, exceeds some performance target
• Team-based incentive schemes– Individuals are rewarded based on their work team
exceeding certain performance targets– Intended to encourage teamwork and cooperation
between employees– Does not tie individual effort to individual rewards
Copyright 2006 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management Accounting: Information for managing and creating value 4e By Kim Langfield-Smith
13-30
Group versus individual performance
• Consider the following issues– Identification with the group– Equity among employees – Competitiveness between employees– Relating individual effort to reward– Rewarding only good performers
• The timing of incentive payments can be crucial to achieving desired outcomes
– More frequent rewards may help ensure continual motivation
