A high ROI means the investment's gains compare favourably to its cost. As a performance measure, ROI is used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiencies of several different investments


Calculation:

Return of investment= Net income/Investment

Net income = gross profit – expenses (total liabilities).

Investment = stock + market outstanding + claims
