CHAPTER 23
MULTINATIONAL PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
AND COMPENSATION
SHORT-ANSWER QUESTIONS
23-1 Examples of financial and nonfinancial measures of performance are:
Financial: ROI, residual income, economic value added, and return on sales.
Nonfinancial: Customer perspective: market share, customer satisfaction.
Internal-business-processes perspective: manufacturing lead time, yield,
on-time performance, number of new product launches, and number of
new patents filed.
Learning-and-growth perspective: employee satisfaction, information-
system availability.
23-2 The six steps in designing an accounting-based performance measure are:
1. Choose performance measures that align with top management’s financial goals
2. Choose the time horizon of each performance measure in Step 1
3. Choose a definition of the components in each performance measure in Step 1
4. Choose a measurement alternative for each performance measure in Step 1
5. Choose a target level of performance
6. Choose the timing of feedback
23-3 The DuPont method highlights that ROI is increased by any action that increases return on
sales or investment turnover. ROI increases with
1. increases in revenues,
2. decreases in costs, or
3. decreases in investments, while holding the other two factors constant.
23-4 Yes. Residual income (RI) is not identical to return on investment (ROI). ROI is a
percentage with investment as the denominator of the computation. RI is an absolute monetary
amount which includes an imputed interest charge based on investment.

23-5 Economic value added (EVA) is a specific type of residual income measure that is
calculated as follows:
Economic value =
added (EVA)
After-tax
operating income (
– Weighted-average × Total assets minus
cost of capital current liabilities )
23-6 Definitions of investment used in practice when computing ROI are
1. Total assets available
2. Total assets employed
3. Total assets employed minus current liabilities
4. Shareholders’ equity
23-7 Current cost is the cost of purchasing an asset today identical to the one currently held if
an identical asset can currently be purchased; it is the cost of purchasing an asset that provides
services like the one currently held if an identical asset cannot be purchased. Historical-cost-based
measures of ROI compute the asset base as the original purchase cost of an asset minus any
accumulated depreciation.
Some commentators argue that current cost is oriented to current prices, while historical
cost is past-oriented.
23-8 Special problems arise when evaluating the performance of divisions in multinational
companies because
a. The economic, legal, political, social, and cultural environments differ significantly across
countries.
b. Governments in some countries may impose controls and limit selling prices of products.
c. Availability of materials and skilled labour, as well as costs of materials, labour, and
infrastructure may differ significantly across countries.
d. Divisions operating in different countries keep score of their performance in different
currencies.
23-9 In some cases, the subunit’s performance may not be a good indicator of a manager’s
performance. For example, companies often put the most skillful division manager in charge of
the weakest division in an attempt to improve the performance of the weak division. Such an effort
may yield results in years, not months. The division may continue to perform poorly with respect
to other divisions of the company. But it would be a mistake to conclude from the poor
performance of the division that the manager is performing poorly.
A second example of the distinction between the performance of the manager and the
performance of the subunit is the use of historical cost-based ROIs to evaluate the manager even
though historical cost-based ROIs may be unsatisfactory for evaluating the economic returns
earned by the organization subunit. Historical cost-based ROI can be used to evaluate a manager
by comparing actual results to budgeted historical cost-based ROIs.
