Gina | NI/A=ROI NI/E=ROE A/E=Fin.Leverage S/A=A Turnover |
julescruis | thanks gina |
godz | if you got this wrong dont show up at the exam center |
Drzewes | GIna: NI/A is ROA ROI = NI/ Equity + total debt I am almost :) sure. |
endlessfin1te | isn't Asset = Equity + Debt anyway? |
johntan1979 | Look at the explanation given in the answer... the only way ROE > ROI is when the equity multiplier or leverage is > 1. In other words, ROI = NI/A = ROA |
