  1. Performance Measurement,Compensation, andMultinational Considerations Chapter 23

  2. Learning Objective 1 Measure performance from a financial and a nonfinancial perspective.

  3. Financial and NonfinancialPerformance Measures Companies are supplementing internal financial measures with measures based on: External financial information Internal nonfinancial information External nonfinancial information

  4. Financial and NonfinancialPerformance Measures Some organizations present financial and nonfinancial performance measures for their subunits in a single report – the balanced scorecard. Most scorecards include: – profitability measures – customer-satisfaction measures

  5. Financial and NonfinancialPerformance Measures – internal measures of efficiency, quality, and time – innovation measures Some performance measures have a long-run time horizon. Other measures have a short-run time horizon.

  6. Learning Objective 2 Design an accounting-based performance measure.

  7. Accounting-BasedPerformance Measure Step 1: Choose performance measures that align with top management’s financial goal(s). Step 2: Choose the time horizon of each performance measure in Step 1. Step 3: Choose a definition for each.

  8. Accounting-BasedPerformance Measure Step 4: Choose a measurement alternative for each performance measure in Step 1. Step 5: Choose a target level of performance. Step 6: Choose the timing of feedback.

  9. Accounting-Based PerformanceMeasure Example Relax Inns owns three small hotels – one each in Boston, Denver, and Miami. At the present, Relax Inns does not allocate the total long-term debt of the company to the three separate hotels.

  10. Accounting-Based Performance Measure Example Boston Hotel Current assets $350,000 Long-term assets 550,000 Total assets $900,000 Current liabilities $ 50,000 Revenues $1,100,000 Variable costs 297,000 Fixed costs 637,000 Operating income $ 166,000

  11. Accounting-Based Performance Measure Example Denver Hotel Current assets $ 400,000 Long-term assets 600,000 Total assets $1,000,000 Current liabilities $ 150,000 Revenues $1,200,000 Variable costs 310,000 Fixed costs 650,000 Operating income $ 240,000

  12. Accounting-Based Performance Measure Example Miami Hotel Current assets $ 600,000 Long-term assets 5,000,000 Total assets $5,600,000 Current liabilities $ 300,000 Revenues $3,200,000 Variable costs 882,000 Fixed costs 1,166,000 Operating income $1,152,000

  13. Accounting-Based Performance Measure Example Total current assets $1,350,000 Total long-term assets 6,150,000 Total assets $7,500,000 Total current liabilities $ 500,000 Long-term debt 4,800,000 Stockholders’ equity 2,200,000 Total liabilities and equity $7,500,000

  14. Approaches toMeasuring Performance Three approaches include a measure of investment: Return on investment (ROI) Residual income (RI) Economic value added (EVA®) A fourth approach, return on sales (ROS), does not measure investment.

  15. Learning Objective 3 Analyze return on investment (ROI) using the DuPont method.

  16. Return on Investment Return on investment (ROI) is an accounting measure of income divided by an accounting measure of investment. Return on investment (ROI) = Income ÷ Investment

  17. Return on Investment What is the return on investment for each hotel? Boston Hotel: $166,000 Operating income ÷ $900,000 Total assets = 18% Denver Hotel: $240,000 Operating income ÷ $1,000,000 Total assets = 24% Miami Hotel: $1,152,000 Operating income ÷ $5,600,000 Total assets = 21%

  18. DuPont Method The DuPont method of profitability analysis recognizes that there are two basic ingredients in profit making: 1. Using assets to generate more revenues 2. Increasing income per dollar of revenues

  19. DuPont Method Return on sales = Income ÷ Revenues Investment turnover = Revenues ÷ Investment ROI = Return on sales × Investment turnover

  20. DuPont Method How can Relax Inns attain a 30% target ROI for the Denver hotel? Present situation: Revenues ÷ Total assets = $1,200,000 ÷ $1,000,000 = 1.20 Operating income ÷ Revenues = $240,000 ÷ $1,200,000 = 0.20 1.20 × 0.20 = 24%

  21. DuPont Method Alternative A: Decrease assets, keeping revenues and operating income per dollar of revenue constant. Revenues ÷ Total assets = $1,200,000 ÷ $800,000 = 1.50 1.50 × 0.20 = 30%

  22. DuPont Method Alternative B: Increase revenues, keeping assets and operating income per dollar of revenues constant. Revenues ÷ Total assets = $1,500,000 ÷ $1,000,000 = 1.50 Operating income ÷ Revenues = $300,000 ÷ $1,500,000 = 0.20 1.50 × 0.20 = 30%

  23. DuPont Method Alternative C: Decrease costs to increase operating income per dollar of revenues, keeping revenues and assets constant. Revenues ÷ Total assets = $1,200,000 ÷ $1,000,000 = 1.20 Operating income ÷ Revenues = $300,000 ÷ $1,200,000 = 0.25 1.20 × 0.25 = 30%

  24. Learning Objective 4 Use the residual-income (RI) measure and recognize its advantages.

  25. Residual Income Residual income (RI) = Income – (Required rate of return × Investment) Assume that Relax Inns’ required rate of return is 12%. What is the residual income from each hotel?

  26. Residual Income Boston Hotel: Total assets $900,000 × 12% = $108,000 Operating income $166,000 – $108,000 = Residual income $58,000 Denver Hotel = $120,000 Miami Hotel = $480,000

  27. Learning Objective 5 Describe the economic value added (EVA®) method.

  28. Economic Value Added Economic value added (EVA®) = After-tax operating income – [Weighted-average cost of capital × (Total assets – current liabilities)]

  29. Economic Value Added Total assets minus current liabilities can also be computed as: Long-term assets + Current assets – Current liabilities, or… Long-term assets + Working capital

  30. Economic Value Added Economic value added (EVA®) substitutes the following specific numbers in the RI calculations: 1. Income equal to after-tax operating income 2. A required rate of return equal to the weighted-average cost of capital 3. Investment equal to total assets minus current liabilities

  31. Economic Value Added Example Assume that Relax Inns has two sources of long-term funds: 1. Long-term debt with a market value and book value of $4,800,000 issued at an interest rate of 10% 2. Equity capital that also has a market value of $4,800,000 and a book value of $2,200,000 Tax rate is 30%.

  32. Economic Value Added Example What is the after-tax cost of capital? 0.10 × (1 – Tax rate) = 0.07, or 7% Assume that Relax Inns’ cost of equity capital is 14%. What is the weighted-average cost of capital?

  33. Economic Value Added Example WACC = [(7% × Market value of debt) + (14% × Market value of equity)] ÷ (Market value of debt + Market value of equity) WACC = [(0.07 × 4,800,000) + (0.14 × 4,800,000)] ÷ $9,600,000 WACC = $336,000 + $672,000 ÷ $9,600,000 WACC = 0.105, or 10.5%

  34. Economic Value Added Example What is the after-tax operating income for each hotel? Boston Hotel: Operating income $166,000 × 0.7 = $116,200 Denver Hotel: Operating income $240,000 × 0.7 = $168,000 Miami Hotel: Operating income $1,152,000 × 0.7 = $806,400

  35. Economic Value Added Example What is the investment? Boston Hotel: Total assets $900,000 – Current liabilities $50,000 = $850,000 Denver Hotel: Total assets $1,000,000 – Current liabilities $150,000 = $850,000 Miami Hotel: Total assets $5,600,000 – Current liabilities $300,000 = $5,300,000

  36. Economic Value Added Example What is the weighted-average cost of capital times the investment for each hotel? Boston Hotel: $850,000 × 10.5% = $89,250 Denver Hotel: $850,000 × 10.5% = $89,250 Miami Hotel: $5,300,000 × 10.5% = $556,50

  37. Economic Value Added Example What is the economic value added? Boston Hotel: $116,200 – $89,250 = $26,950 Denver Hotel: $168,000 – $89,250 = $78,750 Miami Hotel: $806,400 – $556,500 = $249,900 The EVA® charges managers for the cost of their investments in long-term assets and working capital.

  38. Return on Sales The income-to-revenues (sales) ratio, or return on sales (ROS) ratio, is a frequently used financial performance measure. What is the ROS for each hotel? Boston Hotel: $166,000 ÷ $1,100,000 = 15% Denver Hotel: $240,000 ÷ $1,200,000 = 20% Miami Hotel: $1,152,000 ÷ $3,200,000 = 36%

  41. Learning Objective 6 Contrast current-cost and historical-cost asset measurement methods.

  42. Choosing the Time Horizon The second step of designing accounting-based performance measures is choosing the time horizon of each performance measure. Many companies evaluate subunits on the basis of ROI, RI, EVA®, and ROS over multiple years.

  43. Choosing Alternative Definitions The third step of designing accounting-based performance measures is choosing a definition for each performance measure. Definitions include the following: 1. Total assets available – includes all assets, regardless of their particular purpose.

  44. Choosing Alternative Definitions 2. Total assets employed – includes total assets available minus the sum of idle assets and assets purchased for future expansion. 3. Total assets employed minus current liabilities –excludes that portion of total assets employed that are financed by short-term creditors.

  45. Choosing Alternative Definitions 4. Stockholders’ equity – using in the Resorts Inns example requires allocation of the long-term liabilities to the three hotels, which would then be deducted from the total assets of each hotel.

  46. Choosing Measurement Alternatives The fourth step of designing accounting-based performance measures is choosing a measurement alternative for each performance measure. The current cost of an asset is the cost now of purchasing an identical asset to the one currently held. Historical-cost asset measurement methods generally consider the net book value of the asset.

  47. Choosing Measurement Alternatives The fifth step of designing accounting-based performance measures is choosing a target level of performance. Historical cost measures are often inadequate for measuring economic returns on new investments and sometimes create disincentives for expansion.

  48. Choosing Measurement Alternatives The sixth step of designing accounting-based performance measures is choosing the timing of feedback. Timing of feedback depends largely on how critical the information is for the… …success of the organization. …specific level of management involved. …sophistication of the organization.

  49. Learning Objective 7 Indicate the difficulties when comparing the performance of divisions operating in different countries.

  50. Multinational Companies Example Assume that Relax Inns invests in a hotel in Acapulco, Mexico. The exchange rate at the time of the investment on December 31, 2002, is 8 pesos = 1 dollar.
