The Puma health plan uses return on investment (ROI) and residual income (RI) to measure the performance of its investment centers. Two of these investment centers are identified as X and Y. Investment Center X earns $10,000,000 in operating income on controllable investments of $50,000,000, and it has total revenues of $60,000,000. Investment Center Y earns $2,000,000 in operating income on controllable investments of $8,000,000, and it has total revenues of $10,000,000. Both centers have a minimum required rate of return of 15%.
One difference between the RI method and the ROI method is that:

  • A. The RI method demands greater goal congruence from Puma's managers than does the ROI method
  • B. The RI method favors Puma's small investment centers more than does the ROI method
  • C. Only RI can lead to decisions that improve Puma's short-term profits at the expense of its long-term objectives
  • D. Only RI is useful to Puma for comparing investment centers of different sizes
