Hello Ken,
Divisional Managers performance are rewarded on the basis of accounting rate of return from now on the investments they chose to make in their particular divisions. But they choose not to make new investments because, in the early early years of the investment, the effect will be to reduce the divisions’ ROI.I don’t get this point ? could you help pls. This is a question about responsibility accounting.
