[Latin, wheel.]

A ratio that measures a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) against its total net assets. The ratio is considered an indicator of how effectively a company is using its assets to generate earnings before contractual obligations must be paid.

To calculate ROTA:

Investopedia Says:
The greater a company's earnings in proportion to its assets (and the greater the coefficient from this calculation), the more effectively that company is said to be using its assets.

To calculate ROTA, you must obtain the net income figure from a company's income statement, and then add back interest and/or taxes that were paid during the year. The resulting number will reveal the company's EBIT. The EBIT number should then be divided by the company's total net assets (total assets less depreciation and any allowances for bad debts) to reveal the earnings that company has generated for each dollar of assets on its books.

(Lat.: ‘wheel’).

Term for a Round in the 13th century and possibly the 14th. The only differences between rota and rondellus are the successive rather than simultaneous entries of the voices; the rota has therefore to end arbitrarily. The singing of rotas in medieval England was probably practiced to a greater extent than the sources reveal; rounds are easily improvised and were probably not regarded as art music requiring notation unless they were particularly complex. The only known piece specifically labelled ‘rota’ in the MS is the famous Sumer is icumen in, and the term is not discussed in medieval treatises.
