I had an exam today on analyzing financial statements, and after becoming quite tired robots & business just kinda melds together....this was part of my away message....
"The DuPont Model? Just think: Three things to multiply together (Net Profit Margin, Asset Turnover, and Financial Leverage), and the DuPont team grabs 3 goals this year. They should all equate to the Return on Equity, which means all the goals should be brought back to the goal zone."
I have come to the conclusion that FIRST-ers will read this and think, ::sigh:: "She's talking business again"...and Babsonites will think, ::sigh:: "She's talking robots again"...and I will remember the DuPont model....which is all that matters
