Concept Introduction:

Return on investment (ROI):

Return on investment is a profitability ratio that represents the percentage return on the investment made. It is calculated by dividing the Net Income by the Average total assets. The formulas to calculate the ROI are as follows:

  ROI = Operating IncomeAverage total assets 

  ROI (Expanded)= Operating IncomeSales ×SalesAverage total assets

Or

  ROI = Profit Margin Ratio ×Asset Turnover ratio

Profit Margin Ratio:

Profit Margin Ratio is a profitability ratio that represents the percentage income earned on the sales. It is calculated by dividing the Net Income by the Sales. The formulas to calculate the Profit margin is as follows:

  Profit Margin = Operating IncomeSales 

Asset Turnover Ratio:

Asset Turnover Ratio is an efficiency ratio that represents the sales earned on the average assets invested in the business. It is calculated by dividing the Sales by Average total assets. The formulas to calculate the Asset Turnover Ratio is as follows:

  Asset Turnover Ratio = SalesAverage total assets 

Residual Income (RI):

Residual Income is the income earned over and above the expected rate of return on assets invested in the business. It is calculated by dividing the Sales by Average total assets. The formulas to calculate the Residual Income is as follows:

  Residual Income = Operating Income  (Average assets ×Required rate or Return)
