NO.PZ2024011002000162

问题如下:

Kristensen and her team then move on to a discussion of the various ways of comparing Darwin's profitability with other firms in the industry, and they make the following comments:•
  • Kristensen: I prefer return on invested capital (ROIC) because it is not affected by the amount of debt on Darwin's balance sheet.
  • Palmeiro: Return on equity (ROE) is the most common measure of shareholder return, although Darwin's share repurchase program will affect the relevance of the ratio.
  • Marchand: We could use return on capital employed (ROCE), but its significance will be limited if we compare Darwin with companies based in other countries.
Which of the three analysts' comments about the methods used to compare Darwin's profitability with other firms in the industry is the least accurate?

选项:

A.Palmeiro's B.Kristensen's C.Marchand's

解释:

Marchand's comment is the least accurate. ROCE is essentially ROIC before tax and is defined as operating profit divided by capital employed. As a pretax measure, ROCE is useful when comparing peer companies in different countries because the comparison of underlying profitability would not favor companies benefiting from low tax rate systems.

K同学的ROIC 应该会收到debt的影响的呀,因为invested capital 包括股权和债权。

本题Kristensen的说法对应的是讲义以下截图黄色部分的内容——这里的意思是ROIC是不会受到公司财务杠杆的影响

理论上,公司的资产规模越大operating income应该也会越大。所以ROIC真正有意义的比较是在operating income一致也就是不同公司的资产规模相当的情况下做的比较——资产 = Debt + Equity,可以看到,无论资产是怎么构成的,其中负债的比例是高还是低(杠杆是大是小),都不会影响ROIC最后的金额
