Ch 22 – Multinational
Performance Measurement and
Compensation
Performance Measures
 Employees are often assessed based on
performance measures
 These may be:
– Financial in nature (profitability) or
– Non- financial (such as how efficiently tasks
are performed)

2
Common Profitability Measures
 Return on Investment (ROI)
 Residual Income (RI)
 Economic Value Added (EVA)
 Return on Sales (ROS)

3
1. Return on Investment (ROI)
= Income
Investment
Or DuPont Formula

ROI = Asset Turnover * Profit margin

Income = Revenues * Income


Investment Investment Revenues

4
1. Return on Investment (cont)
 DuPont Formula recognizes the two
components in profit making:-
1. Using assets to generate more
revenue
2. Increasing income per $ of revenue
 Drawback of ROI – managers may not invest
in projects that would lower their ROI, even
though they have returns above the
minimum requirement (Underinvestment)

5
2. Residual Income (RI)

= Income – (RRR * Investment)

Profitability is measured in $’s

Drawback – RI is larger for larger


investments centres.

6
3. Economic Value Added (EVA)
 Based on the premise that all capital
(whether debt or equity) has a cost.

= After tax Weighted Total Current


operating - average * assets - Liabs
income cost of
capital

7
Weighted Average Cost of
Capital (WACC)

= Amount of Debt Amount of Equity


* after tax + * return rate
return rate

Amount of Debt + Amount of Equity

8
3. Economic Value Added (EVA) -
cont
 Cost of debt is the after tax interest
payments on the debt
 Cost of equity is what the company’s
shareholders could get in price
appreciation and dividends if they invested
in a portfolio of companies about as risky
as that company.

9
4. Return on Sales (ROS)
= Operating Income
Sales (revenue)

Drawback – doesn’t indicate how big the


investment is. May cause managers to
overinvest.

10
Defining Investment
 Should total assets be used?
 Total assets employed? (excluding idle
assets)
 Should gross book value or net book
value be used?
 Should investment in assets be valued at
historical cost or current value?

11
Performance Measures to Make
Comparisons
 The four performance measures given can
be used for comparing responsibility
centres to each other or to “best practice”
 If comparisons are being made, must
ensure that the same definitions are being
used by each company.
 Best to use a combination of performance
measures

12
International Divisions
 Some companies have divisions in other countries
 To compare with Canadian divisions, need to use
exchange rates to eliminate the effect of different
inflation rates etc in the other countries.
 For the investment purchase, the exchange rate
should be at the date of purchase
 For Operating income, the exchange rate should
be the average for the year
