Return on assets used is usually the operating profit divided by the assets used to produce the profit. Typically used to evaluate divisions or subsidiaries. ROI is very useful but can only be used to compare consistent entities | similar companies in the same industry or the same company over a period of time. Different companies and different industries have different ROIs.
