Return on assets
Hello,
It seems that the term "return on assets" is a concept and thus used like
"ROI is defined as XXX."
However, it is also used as
"A high ROI means XXX."
I don't understand this.
Should these be
"ROI is defined as XXX."/"High ROI means XXX."
or
"The ROI is defined as XXX."/"A high ROI means XXX."
Thank you!
