    Scenario: EcoTransit operates a fleet of electric city buses.
    Financial Data for the year:

    • Revenue: $8,000,000
    • Operating Profit (PBIT): $1,200,000
    • Capital Employed: $6,000,000
    • Cost of Capital: 10%

    Non-Financial Data:

    • Total bus journeys scheduled: 50,000
    • Journeys arriving on time: 46,000
    • Total passenger complaints: 1,500

    Calculate/Identify the following 5 items:

    1. Return on Investment (ROI) %
    2. Residual Income (RI) $
    3. Operating Profit Margin %
    4. On-time arrival rate %
    5. Under which Balanced Scorecard perspective would 'Passenger Complaints' be monitored?

    Select the option that correctly identifies all 5 answers.

    Answer options:

    A.
    1. 15%, 2. $400,000, 3. 20%, 4. 92%, 5. Internal Business Process.
    B.
    1. 20%, 2. $600,000, 3. 15%, 4. 92%, 5. Customer Perspective.
    C.
    1. 20%, 2. $120,000, 3. 15%, 4. 8%. 5. Customer Perspective.
    D.
    1. 133%, 2. $600,000, 3. 15%, 4. 92%, 5. Learning and Growth.

    How to approach this question

    1. ROI = PBIT / Capital. 2. RI = PBIT - (Capital * Cost of Capital). 3. Margin = PBIT / Revenue. 4. On-time = On-time journeys / Total journeys. 5. Complaints relate to how the user views the service.

    Full Answer

    B.1. 20%, 2. $600,000, 3. 15%, 4. 92%, 5. Customer Perspective.✓ Correct
    Part 1: ROI = ($1,200,000 / $6,000,000) × 100 = 20%. Part 2: Imputed interest = 10% × $6,000,000 = $600,000. RI = $1,200,000 - $600,000 = $600,000. Part 3: Operating Profit Margin = ($1,200,000 / $8,000,000) × 100 = 15%. Part 4: On-time rate = (46,000 / 50,000) × 100 = 92%. Part 5: Passenger complaints directly measure customer satisfaction, which falls under the Customer Perspective of the Balanced Scorecard.

    Common mistakes

    Calculating Asset Turnover instead of ROI, or calculating the delay rate (8%) instead of the on-time rate.
