The issue emerged in light of the fact that the boost of the association's profits could truly undermine its liquidity, and the quest for liquidity tended to weaken returns. This article assessed the relationship in the middle of customary and option working capital measures and degree of profitability (ROI), particularly in mechanical firms recorded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). The issue under scrutiny was to set up whether the all the more as of late created option working capital ideas demonstrated enhanced relationship with rate of return to that of conventional working capital proportions or not.

The reason why Dick’s can have a better asset turnover but a drastically worse return on total assets is because asset turnover excludes long-term investments but return on total assets includes them. This means that Nike has many more profitable long-term investments than Dick’s.
