Question:

=+20-34 K Executive compensation, balanced scorecard OBJECTIVES 1, 8 Community Bank recently introduced a new bonus plan for its business unit executives. The company believes that current profitability and customer satisfaction levels are equally important to the bank’s long-term success. As a result, the new plan awards a bonus equal to 2% of salary for each 2% increase in net income or 1% increase in the company’s customer satisfaction index. For example, increasing net income from $3 million to $3.3 million (or 10% from its initial value) leads to a bonus of 10% of salary, while increasing the bank’s customer satisfaction index from 70 to 73.5 (or 5% from its initial value) also leads to a bonus of 10% of salary.

There is no bonus penalty when net income or customer satisfaction declines. In 2013 and 2014, Community Bank’s three business units reported the following performance results:
