31. Financial Performance Evaluation Measures One of the ways to evaluate investment center managers is to use a measure called return on investment (or return on assets.) The formula for ROI is as follows: A1 Investment center net income Investment center average invested assets ROI = 22-31

32. Another measure of evaluating financial performance is by computing the investment center’s residual income. Financial Performance Evaluation Measures A1 Investment center - Target investment net income center net income Residual income = 22-32

33. Investment Center – Analysis We can further examine investment center performance by splitting down return on investment into profit margin and investment turnover: ROI = Profit margin X Investment turnover This will provide further information on the performance of the unit. 22-33 A2

34. Profit Margin The profit margin is the first component in the expanded equation and measures the income earned per dollar of sales. Profit margin = Investment center net income Investment center sales 22-34 A2

35. Investment Turnover The investment turnover measures how efficiently the company generates sales from its invested assets. It is used in the second half of the expanded ROI formula. Investment = Investment center sales turnover Investment center average assets 22-35 A2
