Formulas[edit]

Please add explanations of the terms used in the formulas!

BV of Equity, OK so I know BV is book value, but witch equity? Shareholder equity with the comp[any? Equity as valued by the market? If its the value of the shareholder equity why deduct the debt, since the shareholder equity in the company already accounts for this. If its market equity valueation then again why deduct debt, since the market pricing is the market pricing which includes all known information. Jasonfward (talk) 22:28, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also need to explain the meaning of "AdjustedTaxes" 99.112.92.109 (talk) 02:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This http://www.investorwords.com/4247/Return_on_Capital.html gives a clearer explanation and directly contradicts this article. Jasonfward (talk) 22:35, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree this article needs a lot of work, including elaboration of the formulæ. —DIV (137.111.13.4 (talk) 01:02, 12 February 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Reversion of "drawback material"[edit]

@Rknik: I undid an edit you made to this page.

There are a couple of intertwined reasons.

First, the material added is almost identical to a paragraph in Return_on_capital_employed, With the only difference that "ROCE" was changed to "ROIC".

Second, the claim is unsupported. I'll also note it is unsupported in the other article. (I just added a citation needed tag to it".) Statements such as this must be reference to a reliable source.

I don't know whether the material was copied from another Wikipedia article on whether both paragraphs were copied from the same common source.

Even if copied from another Wikipedia article, there are some guidelines which must be followed:Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia And even if those are followed, there is still a requirement for a reference to reliable source.

On the chance that a reliable source can be found, we still have the issue that the exact same statement is being said about "ROCE" and "ROIC". Although it is theoretically possible that two different concepts can have an identical drawback associated with them, I use this opportunity to ask editors to look into both articles. Either they are identical concepts with slightly different names, which would lead to I need to merge the two articles with a small explanatory sentence explaining that to slightly different terms are used to refer to the same thing;

or,

they are materially different concepts, and both articles ought to include text explaining how the two concepts differ.--S Philbrick (Talk) 14:45, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
