3. No, the Darwin Division is simply larger than the Perth Division
and for this reason one would expect that it would have a
greater amount of residual income. Residual income cant be
used to compare the performance of divisions of different sizes.
Larger divisions will almost always look better. In fact, in the
case above, Darwin does not appear to be as well managed as
Perth. Note from Part (1) that Darwin has only an 18% ROI as
compared to 21% for Perth.

Western Division:
2. The manager of the Western Division seems to be doing the
better job. Although her margin is three percentage points
lower than the margin of the Eastern Division, her turnover is
higher (a turnover of 3.5, as compared to a turnover of two for
the Eastern Division). The greater turnover more than offsets
the lower margin, resulting in a 21% ROI, as compared to an
18% ROI for the other division.
Notice that if you look at margin alone, then the Eastern
Division appears to be the strongest division. This fact
underscores the importance of looking at turnover as well as at
margin in evaluating performance in an investment center.

NAA Report No. 35 states (p. 35):
Introducing sales to measure level of operations helps to
disclose specific areas for more intensive investigation.
Company B does as well as Company A in terms of profit
margin, for both companies earn 14% on sales. But Company B
has a much lower turnover of capital than does Company A.
Whereas a dollar of investment in Company A supports two
dollars in sales each period, a dollar investment in Company B
supports only 50 cents in sales each period. This suggests that

the companys strategy. Each link in the balanced scorecard
should be regarded as a hypothesis of the form If ..., then ....
For example, the balanced scorecard on the previous page
contains the hypothesis If customers express greater
satisfaction with the accuracy of their charge account bills,
then the average age of accounts receivable will improve. If
customers in fact do express greater satisfaction with the
accuracy of their charge account bills, but the average age of
accounts receivable does not improve, this would have to be
considered evidence that is inconsistent with the hypothesis.
Management should try to figure out why the average age of
receivables has not improved. (See the answer below for
possible explanations.) The answer may suggest a shift in
strategy.
In general, the most important results are those that provide
evidence inconsistent with the hypotheses embedded in the
balanced scorecard. Such evidence suggests that the
companys strategy needs to be reexamined.

In fact, because the contribution margin is $6.75, any transfer
price within the range of $12.50 to $19.25 (= $12.50 + $6.75)
will improve the profits of both divisions. So yes, the managers
should be able to agree on a transfer price.
4. It is in the best interests of the company and of the divisions to
come to an agreement concerning the transfer price. As
demonstrated in part (3) above, any transfer price within the
range $12.50 to $19.25 would improve the profits of both
divisions. What happens if the two managers do not come to an
agreement?

The variable costs are charged using the budgeted rate per
machine-hour and the actual machine-hours. The fixed costs
are charged in predetermined, lump-sum amounts based on
budgeted fixed costs and peak-load capacity. Any difference
between budgeted and actual costs is not charged to the
operating departments but rather is treated as a spending
variance of the maintenance department:
