Summary/Abstract: The paper elaborates a methodology how to include weights of subjective significance into a pyramid decomposition of a financial indicator accounting for additive and multiplicative relationships possible amongst partial factors making up the decomposition. The proposed methodology also encompasses a Monte Carlo simulation based procedure for stochastic assessment of uncertainty associated with a particular choice of weights. The paper comments as to how this procedure may be applied in practice of financial corporate analysis and demonstrates its usability in a case study which considers a pyramid decomposition of the Economic Value Added financial indicator
