1. Return on Investment (cont)
DuPont Formula recognizes the two
components in profit making:-
1. Using assets to generate more
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)

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
