| Tiivistelmä: | Academic literature shows that residual income has important incentive properties (henceforth as: inc-ps.) when management bases investment decisions (here as: inv-decs.) on the net present value (NPV) rule. This analysis focuses on the case in which inv-decs. can be postponed, when management must extend the simple NPV rule by considering an option value. The analysis shows that some important inc-ps. of residual income still hold when there is an option to wait, but only when the residual income measure is correctly adjusted. There is also provided an incentive-based explanation of why the capital charge rate within firms is often significantly higher than the firm's cost of capital. |
