Insuranceopedia Explains Return On Assets
The mathematical equation used to calculate the value of returns on assets is the net income divided by the total assets. If an insurance company wants to know how well its investments are performing, it can use this equation to know how much return its assets are generating. If the number is too low, then the insurance company will know that it may need to make some changes in order to get better results.
