Solution Summary
According to Kennon (2009), return on equity (ROE) is a financial profitability instrument that is used to show how much earnings (income) a firm generates as it relates to the sum of investor equity, based on the firms financial fact sheet. The firms' total assets, minus the firm's total liabilities equals shareholder equity (total assets - total liabilities = equity). Return on Equity (ROE) uses the company's net income and the shareholders' equity, to grant information on the administration's capacity to generate assets (wealth) for the shareholders (net profit / shareholder's equity = ROE). Therefore, this ratio is a fair indicator of how efficient the firm is administering and managing their finances, where the final goal is to generate income (wealth) for the investor (McClure, 2009). This tool seems to be of good value when evaluating overseas projects to invest in. One could argue that there is a direct relationship between a firm's capacity to generate equity and the investor's returns.
