Return on Investmen

Let's talk about something more useful, about how we measure our business!





Wikipedia tells us:"Return on investment is one way of considering profits in relation to capital invested".


The ROI is defined as  Profits / total capital employed.
So the ROI provides a rate of how investments bear interest.


For example, if a person needs $2000 to build a computer and sell it for 3000$, and he just wants to do this one computer, the ROI would be: ($3000 (revenue) - $2000 (cost) ) / $2000(cost) = 0.5 = 50%.




How cool is that?
Do you want to know more? Make a comment, I had lots of classes about using and interpreting this and other values ;)
