LESSON 11 · THE TWO COMPANIES

1 / 4

Profit matters. The capital required to earn it matters too.

Separate shareholder return from operating capital efficiency, expose leverage-driven ROE, and judge whether reinvested money creates value.

THE TWO COMPANIES

The same profit can require very different amounts of investor capital.

Two companies each earn ₹20 crore. Company A needs ₹100 crore of equity and no debt. Company B needs ₹50 crore of equity plus ₹100 crore of debt. Company B may display a higher return on equity because shareholders supplied less of the funding—but lenders carry a large claim and interest risk. Profit alone does not reveal efficiency. We must ask how much capital produced it, where that capital came from, and what each new rupee can earn.

ROE = NET PROFIT ÷ EQUITYvsROIC = NOPAT ÷ INVESTED CAPITAL
