Which of the following statements does not accurately describe how your company's performance is scored on the Best$-$in$-$Industry. Standard?

After each decision round, your company will receive an annual best$-$in$-$industry score and a "game$-$to$-$date" best$-$in$-$industry score for all years completed.

The Best$-$in$-$Industry scoring standard is based on how your company's performance compares $(1)$ to the industry's best performer on market share, on return on sales $($ROS$),$ on stock price appreciation, and on P$/$Q rating and $(2)$ to the ultimate credit rating of $A+.$

If EPS is given an instructor$-$assigned weight of $20$ points, a company with an industry$-$leading EPS performance of $$4\mathrm{.}00($that is above the investor$-$expected EPS of $$3\mathrm{.}70)$ gets a score of $20$ points and a company with an EPS of $$3\mathrm{.}00($which is $75\%$ as good as the leader's $$4\mathrm{.}00)$ gets a score of $15$ points $(75\%$ of $20$ points$).$

In order to receive a score of $100,$ a company must $(1)$ be the best$-$in$-$industry performer on EPS, ROE, stock price, and image rating, $(2)$ achieve the investor$-$expected targets for EPS, ROE, stock price, and image rating set by the company's Board of Directors, and $(3)$ have an A$+$ credit rating.

The best$-$in$-$industry performer on EPS, on ROE, on Image Rating, and on Stock Price earns a perfect score $($the full number of points for that measure as determined by the weights chosen by your instructor$)--$provided the industry leader's performance equals or exceeds the investor$-$expected performance target established by the company's Board of Directors.
