Divisional Performance Measure Part2


ACCA P5 Advance Performance Management



Annuity Depreciation: In the article “Here’s mud in RIs” we see the use of ROI and RI does not always result in best decisions because RIs’ over initial period of project  are lower compared to the later period because of depreciated value of assets which decreases over life of project. Annuity depreciation resolves this problem by smoothing depreciation over project’s life.
Steps in Calculating RI and ROI using annuity depreciation method:
Step 1
Equivalent Annual Cost = Initial Investment/ Cumulative discount factor at company’s cost of capital
Step 2
Equivalent Annual Cost = Interest on Opening Book Value + Annual Depreciation
 (or,  Annual Depreciation = Equivalent Annual Cost – Interest on Opening Book Value)
Step 3
Annuity adjusted Operating Profit (PBIT)=  PBITD – Annual Depreciation (From step 2)
Residual Income = Net Cash Inflow  – Equivalent Annual Cost
Return on Investment = Annuity adjusted Operating Profit  / Opening Book Value

Economic Value Added (EVA) – relate to NPV check drawbacks of NPV and review drawbacks of EVA
EVA = Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) – WACC * Economic Value of Capital Employed
In simple term, EVA is recalculation of residual income RI replacing all economic adjusted values.
It is directly linked to creation of shareholder wealth. It is an absolute measure. EVA is consistent with NPV. In a way it is economically adjusted NPV of investment over a period of one year.
Comparing EVA and RI
RI
PBIT – Imputed interest (Capital employed * cost of capital)  
In Profit term
EVA
NOPAT – (Economic Value of Capital employed * WACC)
In Economic Cash flow term
Disadvantage of EVA:
Absolute measure therefore presents difficulty in comparison
Provide historic information
Requires lots of adjustments
