Traxonia Railroad Inc. has three regional divisions organized as profit centers. The chief executive officer (CEO) evaluates divisional performance, using income from operations as a percent of revenues. The following quarterly income and expense accounts were provided from the trial balance as of December 31, 2016:

The company operates three service departments: Shareholder Relations, Customer Support, and Legal. The Shareholder Relations Department conducts a variety of services for shareholders of the company.

The department believes that the number of customer contacts is an activity base for this work. The Legal Department provides legal services for division management. The department believes that the number of hours billed is an activity base for this work. The following additional information has been gathered:

Prepare quarterly income statements showing income from operations for the three divisions. Use three column headings: East, West, and Central.

2. Compute the profit margin for each division.

Note: Enter percentage rounded two decimal places (e.g. .22547 is 22.56%)

Now identify the most successful division according to the profit margin:  

3. What would you include in a recommendation to the CEO for a better method for evaluating the performance of the divisions? What is a major weakness of the present method?

A major weakness of the present method is that

there is no weakness. The present method works well.

a full year’s income is needed for assessment.

nonfinancial drivers are not identified.

the service department charges are incorrectly allocated.

Which of the following methods would better evaluate divisional performance? Check all that apply.

Including direct and indirect operating expenses for each division

None of these. The present method works well

Utilizing transfer pricing between divisions

Completing a balanced scorecard for each service department

Computing the rate of return on investment (income from operations divided by divisional assets)

Focusing on controllable revenues and expenses

Considering residual income (income from operations less a minimal return on divisional assets)
