| | Fool.com: A Definition [Return on Equity] |
 | | Return on equity is calculated by taking a year's worth of earnings and dividing them by the average shareholder's equity for that year. | | | Shareholder's equity can be found on the balance sheet and is simply the difference between the total assets and total liabilities, as it is assumed that assets without corresponding liabilities are the direct creation of the shareholder's capital that got the business started in the first place. | | | Shareholder's equity is an accounting convention that represents the assets that have actually been generated by the business. |

| | WHAT'S DRIVING RETURN ON EQUITY |
| | He figured that return on equity can be arrived at by multiplying profit margin (profits as a percent of sales) and turnover (sales as a percent of assets, or, to put it another way, the rate at which a company's resources are turned into sales). | | | Total equity consumed: $96 billion, or 35% of the amount outstanding at the end of the period. | | | Later, Du Pont accountants discovered that another variable, leverage (assets as a multiple of equity), could be added to the formula to factor in the effect of financing costs on returns. |

| | To be safe, besides comparing return on equity, check the more comprehensive ratio called "return on investment," which considers total debt and equity invested in the company. | | | Since return on equity only divides earnings by shareholders’ equity, a company that has funded itself using bonds and other debt instruments could show a higher return on equity than a competitor without actually more effectively managing capital. | | | Return on equity (ROE in financial shorthand) measures how much a company earns on each dollar that investors in its common stock have put into the company. |
