What is the difference between return on assets and return on equity from the perspective of an investor?
Well lets try to make this simple.Lets say our widget company made a net profit of $100,000 for the year. lets look at how the same profit might be reported two different ways.Return on assets, would be a calculation based on all assets. Lets say the buildings, machines, inventory, WIP, accounts receivable, cash on hand, leasehold improvements + all the things of value that the company owns title to are worth $1 million. Then it would be $100,000 return on $1million in assets or 10% ROAReturn on Equity: If your investors put up $200,000 equity to start the company and all the rest is cash flow & debt, borrowed money. Then it would be $100,000 return on $200,000 equity or 50% ROENow just for the record that is a gross oversimplification & some business professor or accountant is tearing his/her hair out, but in the simplest terms that is the concept answer. ROI & ROCE are similar concepts with subtle differences.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of financial leverage?
A major advantage is optimization of shareholders' wealth through mix of debt and equity, taking advantage of the U.S. tax system which favors debt financing by making interest deductible from income when calculating the company's federal tax liability. Low cost debt, especially when interest is low, would increase the return of equity relative to the return of assets. A disadvantage would be if the debt becomes too costly, it reduces the return of equity below the return of assets. Companies that are highly leverage in this case might find it difficult to make payments on their debt in times of trouble and also difficult to obtain additional financing from lenders.
