$49,600 ($172,800 – $123,200) more income from operations than did the Mountain
Bike Division. However, income from operations does not consider the amount of
invested assets in each division. On the basis of the rate of return on investment,

This scenario is a negotiation between two divisions. Dave is not behaving
unethically by attempting to get a better price from the Semiconductor Division than

The Customer Service Department head is responsible for the quantity of service, but
not the source of the service (i.e., not the price). Most accountants would hold the
department head responsible for the cost by transferring the cost of the brochures to

This is because all three divisions have an ROI that is greater than 19%. Thus, any

(2) improving the investment turnover. For all three divisions, the profit margin
is excellent:

5. Use of residual income as a performance measure and as the basis for granting
bonuses would motivate division managers to accept investment opportunities
that exceed a minimum rate of return. If the minimum rate of return was set at
10%, the overall company average rate of return, any investment opportunity
whose rate exceeded 10% would be viewed as acceptable. If this performance
