D1. ROS, ROA, ROE, Leverage, Sales, Profits
* Return on Sales (ROS) – ROS is the percentage of each dollar of sales that is left as a profit. For example if a company has $100 in revenue and $20 in profit, at the end of the period they have a ROS of 20%. ROS is best used when compared to other companies within the same industry. This is because different industries can have different levels of ROS depending on the competitiveness level. Competiveness can drive prices down overall in the industry, which will drive down ROS for all companies. A high ROS can indicate premium pricing in the industry or great efficiency where as a low ROS can be an indicator of financial trouble such as a company slashing prices just to garner

For example, Able could have sold an additional 0.2% of the market segment units of 14,937 and Acre an additional 1.9% of the market of 21,715 units. Doing that math for each product and applying the sales price and contribution margin shows a potential increase in sales of $74,484 (a 32% increase) and a margin increase of $26,286 (126% increase). This would have increase our ROS from 9.0% to 15.5%, which would have been tops in the industry.
By improving a forecast and production synergy, we will be able to capture closer to our market sales potential which will keep our inventory carry costs down and our ROS up.
* Return on assets (ROA) – ROA shows how successful a company is in generating profits on the amount of assets they own. Since assets consist of debt and equity, ROA is a measure of how well a company converts investment dollars into profit. The higher the percentage, the more profit a company is generating per dollar of investment. Similar to ROS, this ratio needs to be looked at compared to the industry as different industries have different requirements that can affect ROA. For example, companies in the airline and mining industries need expensive assets to operate so will have lower ROA’s compared to companies in the pharmaceutical or advertising industries. The table below shows our ROA for each year compared to the industry. The graph following shows the ROA for Andrews alone over time.
Our ROA is a similar tale to the ROS, as we
Return on assets is an efficiency ratio. It compares the profits generated with the asset base required. It answers the question, how hard
First of all, return on asset (ROA) is a ratio used to measure how efficient a company generates profit using its assets, which is the invested capital. We noticed that HH’s ROA was increasing from 2006 to 2010. However, HH’s ROA for 2011 dropped dramatically from 18.41%(year
H. Rate of Return on Net Sales: This ratio is used to find profit made per dollar sale. Company G ascended its percentage (5.43% to 6.13%). Average for the industry is a 4.60% according to Yahoo Finance. Last quartile industry data shows 7.55%, above Company G ratio. Rate of Return on Net Sales is of no concern for Company G.
* Forecasting is an impartial strategic ingredient that will ensure apt base for reputable planning. Our forecast is always the first step in developing plans in running the business along with our future plans of growth strategies. With this tool, we are able to anticipate our sales within reason that then can allow for us to control our costs in conjunction with inventory which will then help us to enhance our customer service. Sales forecasting is a vital strategic tactic in our company’s methodology.
ROA is considered the best overall indicator of the efficiency of assets used in a company. Home Depot and Lowe’s ROA ratio both moved down due to the downturn in the industry but Home Depot was able to improve 2010.
The Return on Assets ratio is a basic measure of the efficiency with which TCI allocates and manages its resources (assets) to generate earnings. With a 20% projected increase in sales, for 1996, we calculated TCI’s ROA to be 12.95%, and 12.11% for 1997. Although this isn’t an extremely high ROA, TCI will be allocating its resources very wisely with the expansion of its central warehouse. If MidBank lends them the cash they need to complete this project, their central warehouse will be able to hold more tires for their increasing sales, which will then convert into profit. A true test of TCI’s ROA will be after 1998, when the warehouse is complete, so you can see just how well they can convert an investment into profit.
The Total Asset Turnover or ROA (Return on Asset) lets us know how effectively assets generate revenue. Accounts Receivable Turnover tells us how effectively a company is collecting money from sales. As we can see, both companies are doing pretty comparable and so far, this does not explain the sudden cliff on Profit Margin.
Historically, the Du Pont innovation of (ROI) calculations represents one of the most significant turning points in the history of modern accounting and management, (Hounshell, 1998 ). The 1920’s began the Du Pont system company with methods and calculations from leaders, owners, executives, etc. Furthermore, it was the beginning of the integration of financial accounting, capital accounting, and cost accounting. When it comes to return on assets (ROA), they are a (ROI) measure that evaluates the organization’s return or net income relative to the asset base need to generate the income, (Finkler, Ward, & Calabrese, 2013). The Du Pont Company has been the leader of industrial research. Throughout the years with companies emerging, Du Pont’s method was becoming more prominent with owners and executives needing a method for
Second, excess inventory will be reduced on items that have a lower demand. Third, there should be enhanced credibility with customers due to the better availability of product. Forecasting should also benefit scheduling and labor needs for production. Ultimately, there should be an increase in inventory for products with high demand, a decrease in overall inventory, and reduced operating expenses.
The return on equity conveys the profits of the company as a rate of return on the amount of owners' equity. ROE uses average owners equity over the specified time period and net income. Historically a ROE of between 10% and 15% were considered average. Recently higher rates in growth industries have been greater.
One of the most widely used profitability ratios, because of its relation to both the profit margin and asset turnover, is the Return on Asset ratio. ROA helps show how well the company controls
The results of the company’s return on assets ratio measuring profitability overall was 7.2% in 2010 and 8.1% in 2011 having an increase of 0.9%. Return of common stock ratio that portrays the

* As a percentage-return measure, ROA is comparable to cost-of-capital and market rate of return measures.
