The earning power of assets measured as the ratio of the net income to the capital employed in a company or Department. Return on investment is a measure of profitability that indicates whether or not a company is using its resources in an efficient manner

 

Formula:

ROI = Operating Income / Capital Employed *

 

Important Points:

§ROI is the key performance measure for an investment center.

§ROI can be used to evaluate the performance of the entire firm.

ROI is a relative measure

 

Residual Income (RI)

 

Net income that an investment can earn over the minimum rate of return (time-deposit interest rate).

 

Formula:

 

RI = Operating Income – (capital employed * required rate of return)

 

RI is an absolute measure thats why can not be utilised for comparability purpose
