This interactive demonstrates two complementary ways of viewing the
DuPont framework. The top left diagram shows ROE as the product of the
other three financial ratios of the framework: net profit margin, asset
turnover, and financial leverage.
On the right, ROE is displayed as financial ratio: net income divided by
the average equity. In this diagram the four financial ratios of the
DuPont framework are shown by diagonal dashed lines, each placed between
the two measures (axes) that determine it.
