Round amounts to dollars and percentages to one decimal. Note that there are several cost centres, profit centres and investment centres in the budget and actuals results. The "Total" column is the entire company managed by a chief executive officer while Plants, Departments (e.g., Dept 1 and 2) and specific period costs are managed by other managers given their assigned responsibilities. Within the Plants, there are two departments per Plant (e.g., Plant A has departments 1 and 2 and Plant B also has departments 1 and 2, separately managed). Period costs are allocated based on an activity-based accounting driver and are not separate cost centres within the Plants. The company manages with four investments centres, four profit centres and nine costs centres. The company has set goals for return on sales of 10%, return on investment of 10% and positive residual income. Questions 1. Briefly describe why responsibility centres are used and a major requirement that enhances usefulness and motivation to managers. 2. For the appropriate responsibility centres based on the actual results, calculate: a. Return on Sales b. Return on Investment C. Residual Income 3. Which of the responsibility centres in 2 are not performing to expectations
