    Are common costs cost attributed to products units? Will it be a relevant cost when making decision ?

    Also, apart from only 2 disadvantages of RI which :
    – size of investment and division
    – accounting policies of profit and capital employed which can be manipulated to achieved bonus related targets

    Are there more disadvantages sir?

    I thought common costs were those that were NOT attributable to different products

    Off the top of my head I can’t think of any others … I may have been inclined to make 4 separate points out of the two that you have identified:

    Size of investment
    Different accounting policies used in arriving at the profit figure
    Variation in the bases of arriving at a figure for capital employed
    Incomparability of size of divisions

    OK?
