AFTER-TAX RETURN ON ASSETS
A measure of profitability that tells how well the company disposes its capital resources for income generation. For the calculation of the after-tax return on assets, the total after-tax income of the company is divided by the total value of its assets. The result will be then multiplied by 100 to be converted to percentage; a higher percentage indicates a more efficient disposal of the company's assets.
