正确答案：
(a) The primary focus of the research and development director
There is a need to measure the ability of CSG to offer up to date services that are sought after by existing and potential
customers. In this regard it would be relatively easy to determine the number of new products/services introduced in previous
periods. The performance of individual innovations should also be assessed. Also the aggregate expenditure on the
development of new services may indicate how CSG has performed with regard to offering up to date, customer focused
services.
The primary focus of the finance director
CSG could use return on capital employed (ROCE), economic value added (EVA) or residual income (RI) as measures of
financial performance. EVA and RI are both superior to return on capital employed (ROCE) in that each method is more likely
to develop goal congruence in terms of acquisition and disposal decisions. It is vital that any performance measure chosen
is consistent with the NPV rule. The use of RI could prove problematic when managers adopt a short term outlook and use
short term performance measures as decisions may not be consistent with the NPV rule. EVA attempts to avoid the problems
associated with understated asset values that arise in the use of ROCE and RI. Current values should be used as opposed to
historical costs.
The primary focus of the human resources director
CSG could use measures such as the rate of staff turnover, the level of absenteeism, training costs per employee and the
number of applications received for each job vacancy. These measures may provide an indication of the extent to which CSG
can be regarded as a socially responsible employer.
These measures should be compared with those of prior periods and targets. Employee attitude surveys may also be
undertaken on a systematic basis in order to assess matters such as the degree of satisfaction with the payment systems that
are in operation, management style. and working conditions.
The primary focus of the corporate affairs director
CSG could use measures such as the amounts spent on the disposal of waste chemicals, the number of complaints received
from clients and members of the public and the total of contributions made to organisations which seek to meet social
objectives, e.g. charities, schools and hospitals.

正确答案：
(ii) The income tax implications of the proposed financing arrangements
Mr Fencer has borrowed money from a UK bank in order to make a loan to Rapier Ltd, a close company. The interest
paid by Mr Fencer to the bank will be an allowable charge on income as long as he continues to hold more than 5% of
Rapier Ltd. Charges on income are deductible in arriving at an individual’s statutory total income.
Mr Fencer will receive interest from Rapier Ltd net of 20% income tax. The gross amount of interest will be subject to
income tax at either 10%, 20% or 40% depending on whether the income falls into Mr Fencer’s starting rate, basic rate
or higher rate tax band. Mr Fencer will obtain a tax credit for the 20% income tax suffered at source.
