Excel Tip and Example
Title: ROI and ROE Performance Measure

Keywords: Return on Investment, Return on Equity, Goal Seek, Management Performance
Description: Worksheet model used to calculate Return on Investment (ROI) and Return on Equity (ROE) that also
provides easy methods of changing input values and seeking a final ROE.
Tip:
You can develop a model of your business with an Excel workbook. This model calculates ROE, ROI, profit
margin and asset turnover. Once the model is developed, you can try various what if scenarios. You can
use Goal Seek functions to solve the model for a desired output (ROE). By adjusting different inputs to the
ROE calculation, you can better understand the financial structure and opportunities facing the business.
Notes like those inserted in cells N13, N15, Q14 and X18 describe methods of increasing ROE.
Guide to the Example:

Enter starting values in column B. Click the reset buttons to show ROE for the input values. Click on the
spinner buttons to change assumptions and use the reset buttons to return to the original values. Enter a
desired ROE in cell M4 and click on the Seek button -- choose which input variable you want to change to
solve for the desired ROE.
