The manager of Healthy Snack Division of Fairfax Industries is evaluated on her division's return on investment and residual income. The company requires that all divisions generate a minimum return on invested assets of 8 percent. Consistent failure to achieve this minimum target is grounds for the dismissal of a division manager. The annual cash bonus paid to division managers is 1 percent of residual income in excess of $100,000.
