Question:

Susan is a divisional manager with the Generator Company. Her performance report shows a positive divisional margin, but a loss for the year. Susan has complained to the CEO about the common costs that were charged to her division and she has questioned the method of doing so. If her division were not charged or were allocated common costs in a different way, she would have a favourable profit figure and so would be awarded her bonus. Should Susan’s bonus be awarded based on the profit figure? Why or why not?
