Controllability Concept
Managers shouldonly be evaluated on
revenues or coststhey control.
Since the exercise of control may be clouded,managers are usually held responsible for items
over which they have predominant ratherthan absolute control.

A good example is interest you earn on your saving accountOperating Income = $50 interestOperating Assets = $5,000 ROI = $50 / $5,000 = 10%

ROI - A Major Drawback

ROI - A Major Drawback
As division manager,I wouldn’t invest in
that project becauseit would lower my pay!
Gee . . .I thought we were
supposed to do what was best for the
company!
This condition is known as suboptimization.

How to Avoid Suboptimization
To avoid suboptimization, many businesses base managerial evaluation on residual income.This approach measures a manager’s ability to maximize earnings above some targeted level.The targeted level of earnings is based on a minimum desired ROI.

Residual income encourages managers to make profitable investments that would
be rejected by managers using ROI.

Let’s apply what we’ve learned:
The Spokane Division of Cascade Inc. has a current ROI of 20%. The company target is 15%. The division has an opportunity to invest $4,000,000 at 18% but is reluctant to do so because its ROI will fall to 19.2%. The present investment base for the division is $6,000,000.
Should the company invest?
