Problem Statement
To calculate the bonus of a manager using the EVA method for the year 2017 and estimated
for the year 2018 and assess whether the proposed method of EVA should be implemented
throughout the organisation
B. To see the implications on bonus, we’ll calculate the 2017 EVA bonus pay-out for a
manager earning $300,000, for a bonus which is based 100% on division’s EVA
C. We’ll estimate the bonus pay-out for the same manager, considering profits falling back to
the same level as before and the EVA improvement goal remaining constant. This will help
us get an idea about the method’s practicality in cases where profits fall.
Calculations
For calculating EVA certain adjustments are to be made in the R&D, consumer advertisement
and goodwill account.
The 2018 estimate has been done here taking the 2018 R&D expense/Income ratio as an
percentage average of R&D expense/Income for the years 2014-16.
Consumer advertising capitalised and amortised over 3 years on a straight line basis:
The 2018 estimate has been done here taking the 2018 Advertising expense/Income ratio as
an percentage average of Advertising expense/Income for the years 2013-16.
