Components of ROI
Invested Capital Defined
• No universal measure
of invested capital
• Different measures of
invested capital reflect
user’s different
perspectives
8-11
Components of ROI
Alternative Measures of Invested Capital
Common Measures:
• Net Operating Assets
• Stockholders’ Equity
8-12
Components of ROI
• Perspective is that of the company
as a whole
• Called return on net
operating assets (RNOA)
RNOA:
measures operating efficiency/
performance
reflects return on net operating
assets (excluding financial
assets/liabilities)
• Perspective is that of the company
as a whole
• Called return on net
operating assets (RNOA)
RNOA:
measures operating efficiency/
performance
reflects return on net operating
assets (excluding financial
assets/liabilities)

Components of ROI
Common Equity Capital
• Perspective is that of common
equity holders
• Captures the effect of leverage
(debt) capital on equity holder
return
• Excludes all debt financing and
preferred equity
• Perspective is that of common
equity holders
• Captures the effect of leverage
(debt) capital on equity holder
return
• Excludes all debt financing and
preferred equity
net income less preferred dividends
average common equity
8-14
Components of ROI
Computing Invested Capital
• Usually computed using average
capital available for the period
• Typically add beginning and
ending invested capital amounts
and divide by 2
• More accurate computation is to
average interim amounts
— quarterly or monthly

Components of ROI
Adjustments to Invested Capital and Income Numbers
Many accounting numbers require
analytical adjustment—see prior chapters
Some numbers not reported in financial
statements need to be included
Such adjustments are necessary for
effective analysis of return on invested
capital

Operating Profit margin: measures operating profitability
relative to sales
Operating Asset turnover (utilization): measures effectiveness
in generating sales from operating assets

Effect of Operating Leverage on RNOA
OA = operating assets
OLLEV = operating liabilities leverage ratio
(operating liabilities / NOA)

Profit Margin and Asset Turnover
•
Profit margin and asset turnover are
interdependent
–
Profit margin is a function of sales and operating
expenses
•
(selling price x units sold)
–
Turnover is also a function of sales
•
(sales/assets)
