Lower-level managers are closer and more responsive to the customer’s needs. 3. The operation provides a better training ground for managers. 4. Delegation improves employee morale. 5. Top management is free to devote time to strategic planning.

Residual Income The operating income earned above a minimum desired return on invested assets. Residual Income = Operating Income – (Desired ROI x Average Assets Invested) Residual income eliminates the possibility of missed income opportunities that exist if ROI is used as a performance measure. BUT residual income does not provide a meaningful comparison between investment centers of a different size because residual income shows absolute dollars not a percentage.

Economic Value Added – the shareholder wealth created by an investment center.
Cost of Capital – the minimum desired rate of return on an investment.

Activity-Based Responsibility Accounting Traditional responsibility-accounting systems tend to focus on the financial performance measures of cost, revenue, and profit for subunits of the organization.
Activity-based costing systems associate costs with the activities that drive those costs. In activity-based responsibility accounting attention is directed not only to costs incurred but also to the activity creating the cost. McGraw-Hill/Irwin
12-39
Nonfinancial Performance Measurement Nonfinancial performance measures combined with conventional financial measures provide a balanced performance perspective. 1. Measures of product quality 2. Customer complaints and warranty experience 3. Customer satisfaction and retention rates 4. Product availability and on-time performance 5. New product time to market and market share
McGraw-Hill/Irwin

Discussion Q.
A.
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Why should multiple performance measures be used to evaluate investment center performance?
Because any one performance measure tends to emphasize only one particular aspect of performance.

Benefits of Transfer Pricing 1. Divisions can be evaluated as profit or investment centers. 2. Divisions are forced to control costs and operate competitively. 3. If divisions are permitted to buy component parts wherever they can find the best price (either internally or externally), transfer pricing will allow a company to maximize its profits.
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
12-45
Commonly Used Transfer Prices 1. Market price approach sets the price at which the product transferred could be sold to outside buyers. 2. Negotiated price approach allows decentralized managers to agree (negotiate) among themselves. 3. Cost price approach uses a variety of cost concepts for setting the transfer price. Commonly Used Transfer Prices Variable Cost per Unit $10
Full Cost per Unit $13 Negotiated Price
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Market Price per Unit $20

Transfer Prices When the external market value of goods transferred is unavailable . . . Negotiated transfer price
Cost-plus transfer price
Transfer prices have no direct effect upon the company’s overall net income. McGraw-Hill/Irwin
12-47
Transfer Pricing—Negotiated Price Approach Assumptions 1. Division M produces a product with a variable cost of $10 per unit. Division M has unused capacity. 2. Division N purchases 20,000 units of the same product at $20 per unit from an outside source.
Variable Cost per Unit $10
Market Price per Unit $20 Negotiated Price

If the division managers agree on a price of $18 per unit, how much will each division’s income increase? How much for the overall company?
