Du Pont analysis model usually provide a look that is unique into an operations financial structure and operating efficiency. With specific focus on ROA and ROE, the model is used to troubleshoot structural or operational problems from a financial perspective.
Du Pont analysis decomposes return-on-net-operating assets (RNOA) into two multiplicative components: profit margin and asset turnover, both of which are largely driven by industry membership. The analysis is a useful tool in predicting future changes in RNOA. We can use the model to predict future changes in RNOA in both in-sample and out-of-sample forecasting tests.
For the case of return-on-net-operating assets (RNOA) for the period 2001-2002 it shows that since:-
NOA = Total assets – current assets
For year 2001 = 672 – (108+67+72) = 425
RNOA= net profit after tax/net operating assets x 100%
= 77/425 x 100%= 18%
For year 2000
RNOA= net profit after tax/net operating assets x 100%
62. 9/408. 5 x 100 = 15. 4%
RNOA indicate the efficiency with which the firm is utilizing its operating net assets to generate profits. In the year 2000, Powell Panther Corporation generated $15. 4 as profit after tax for every $100. In the year 2001, RNOA increased to $18, this being an upward trend at the rate of 16. 8% as shown below.
(18-15. 4/15. 4 x 100) = 16. 8%
Using the above rate of increase in RNOA, the 2002 RNOA can be predicted as:
(16. 8/100×18) + 18%= 21. 024%
