Financial performance measures are essential tools used by managers to evaluate the financial
health of their organization. They provide an overview of the company's financial
performance, help identify areas of improvement, and support decision making.
CarniTrin is a manufacturer of Carnival costumes in a highly competitive market. The
company's management team is seeking guidance on the use of financial performance
measures to identify the key drivers of the company's financial performance and develop a
strategy to improve it.
The following data relate to the company for the year 2019:
 In its clothing division, the company has $4,000,000 invested in assets. After-tax
operating income from sales of clothing in 2019 is $700,000. Income for the clothing
division has grown steadily over the last few years.
 The cosmetics division has $12,000,000 invested in assets and an after-tax operating
income in 2019 of $1,700,000.
 The weighted-average cost of capital for CarniTrin is 10% and the 2018’s after-tax
return on investment for each division was 15%.
 The general manager of CarniTrin has asserted that in future, managers should have
their compensation structure aligned with their performance measures with no fixed
salaries. However, the general manager has told the manager of each division that the
better division in 2019 will get a bonus.
