- 1. Financial statements for the analyzed period:
- - Balance sheet (form No. 1 of the quarterly financial statements);
- - Profit and loss statement (form No. 2 of the quarterly financial statements).
- 2. Formula for calculating the return on assets of an enterprise:
- Ra = P / A x 100%, where:
- - Ra - return on assets,%;

- - A is the average value of the assets of the enterprise for the period, thousand rubles.
Instructions
Step 1
To analyze the efficiency of using the assets (capital) of the enterprise, the return on assets indicator is calculated. Return on assets shows the amount of profit attributable to each ruble of the value of assets (capital) of the enterprise. The return on assets is considered normal when the indicator is 18-20%.
Step 2
Determine the amount of the company's net profit for the analyzed period. Take the amount of the company's net profit according to the "Profit and Loss Statement" (line 190).
Step 3
Calculate the average value of the assets of the company for the analyzed period. To do this, add the totals of the balance sheet asset at the beginning and end of the reporting period (data in line 300). Divide the resulting amount of assets by 2. So you will calculate the average value of the assets of the company for the period.
Step 4
Calculate the return on assets of the enterprise as follows. Divide the amount of the company's net profit by the calculated average asset value of the company. Multiplying the resulting coefficient by 100%, you will get the return on assets of the enterprise for the analyzed period.
