2、tios by financial analysts, lenders, academic researchers, and small business owners has been widely acknowleged in the literature. (See, for example, Osteryoung&Constand (1992), Devine & Seaton (1995), or Burson (1998) The concepts of Return on Assets (ROA hereafter) and Return on Equity (ROEhereaf

3、ter) are important for understanding the profitability of a business enterprise. Specifically, a “return on” ratio illustrates the relationship between profits and the investment needed to generate those profits. However, these concepts are often “too far removed from normal activities” to be easily

4、 understood and useful to many managers or small business owners. (Slater and Olson, 1996) In 1918, four years after he was hired by the Du Pont Corporation to work in its treasury department, electrical engineer F. Donaldson Brown was given the task of untangling the finances of a company of which

5、Du Pont had just purchased 23 percent of its stock. (This company was General Motors!) Brown recognized a mathematical relationship that existed between two commonly computed ratios, namely net profit margin (obviously a profitability measure) and total asset turnover (an efficiency measure), and RO

6、A. The product of the net profit margin and total asset turnover equals ROA, and this was theoriginal Du Pont model, as illustrated in Equation 1 below. Eq. 1: (net income / sales) x (sales / total assets) = (net income / total assets) i.e. ROA At this point in time maximizing ROA was a common corpo

7、rate goal and the realization that ROA was impacted by both profitability and efficiency led to the development of a system of planning and control for all operating decisions within a firm. This became the dominant form of financial analysis until the 1970s. (Blumenthal, 1998) In the 1970s the gene

8、rally accepted goal of financial management became “maximizing the wealth of the firms owners” (Gitman, 1998) and focus shifted from ROA to ROE. This led to the first major modification of the original Du Pontmodel. In addition to profitability and efficiency, the way in which a firm financed its ac

9、tivities, i.e. its use of “leverage” became a third area of attention for financial managers. The new ratio of interest was called the equity multiplier, which is (total assets / equity). The modified Du Pont model is shown in Equations 1 and 2 below. Eq. 2: ROA x (total assets / equity) = ROE Eq. 3

10、: (net income / sales) x (sales / total assets) x (total assets / equity) = ROE The modified Du Pont model became a standard in all financial management textbooks and a staple of introductory and advanced courses alike as students read statements such as: “Ultimately, the most important, or “bottom

11、line” accounting ratio is the ratio of net income to common equity (ROE).” (Brigham and Houston, 2001) The modified model was a powerful tool to illustrate the interconnectedness of a firms income statement and its balance sheet, and to develop straight-forward strategies for improving the firms ROE

12、. More recently, Hawawini and Viallet (1999) offered yet another modification to the Du Pont model. This modification resulted in five different ratios that combine to form ROE. In their modification they acknowlege that thefinancial statements firms prepare for their annualreports (which are of mos

13、t importance to creditorsand tax collectors) are not always useful tomanagers making operating and financialdecisions. (Brigham and Houston, p. 52) Theyrestructured the traditional balance sheet into a“managerial balance sheet” which is “a moreappropriate tool for assessing the contribution ofoperat

14、ing decisions to the firms financialperformance.” (Hawawini and Viallet, p. 68)This restructured balance sheet uses the conceptof “invested capital” in place of total assets, andthe concept of “capital employed” in place oftotal liabilities and ownersequity found on thetraditional balance sheet. The

15、 primary differenceis in the treatment of the short-term “workingcapital” accounts. The managerial balance sheet uses a net figure called “working capital requirement” (determined as: accounts receivable + inventories + prepaid expenses accounts payable + accrued expenses) as a part of invested capi

16、tal. These accounts then individually drop out of the managerial balance sheet. A more detailed explanation of the managerial balance sheet is beyond the scope of this paper, but will be partially illustrated in an example. The “really” modified Du Pont model is shown below in Equation 4. Eq. 4: (EB

17、IT / sales) x (sales / invested capital) x (EBT / EBIT) x (invested capital / equity) x (EAT / EBT) = ROE (Where: invested capital = cash + working capital requirement + net fixed assets) This “really” modified model still maintains the importance of the impact of operating decisions (i.e. profitabi

18、lity and efficiency) and financing decisions (leverage) upon ROE, but uses a total of five ratios to uncover what drives ROE and give insight to how to improve this important ratio. The firms operating decisions are those that involve the acquisition and disposal of fixed assets and the management o

19、f the firms operating assets (mostly inventories and accounts receivable) and operating liabilities (accountspayable and accruals). These are captured in thefirst two ratios of the “really” modified Du Pontmodel. These are: 1. operating profit margin: (Earnings Before Interest & Taxes or EBIT / sale

20、s) 2. capital turnover: (sales / invested capital) The firms financing decisions are those that determine the mix of debt and equity used to fund the firms operating decisions. These are captured in the third and fourth ratios of the “really” modified model. These are: 3. financial cost ratio: (Earn

21、ings Before Taxes or EBT / EBIT) 4. financial structure ratio: (invested capital / equity) The final determinant of a firms ROE is the incidence of business taxation. The higher the tax rate applied to a firms EBT, the lower its ROE. This is captured in the fifth ratio of the “really” modified model

22、. 5. tax effect ratio: (Earnings After Taxes or EAT / EBT) The relationship that ties these five ratios together is that ROE is equal to their combined product. (See Equation 4.) Example of Applying the “Really” Modified Du Pont Model To illustrate how the model works, consider the income statement
