Return on Assets is supposed to show the rate of return (after tax) being earned on all of the firm's assets regardless of financing structure (debt vs. equity). It is a measure of how efficiently the company is using all stakeholders' assets to earn returns.
Formula
The most common accounting definition for Return on Assets is:
Return on Assets (ROA) = [Net Income + (Interest Expense x (1 - Tax Rate)) + Minority Interest) / (Average Total Assets)
Where Average Total Assets = (Assets at the beginning of the reporting period + Assets at the end of the reporting period) / 2
YCharts calculates Return on Assets as:
ROA = Trailing 12 Month Net Income / Total Assets from the most recent quarter
