Expert Solution
Step 1

Net Income: The net income of the business is determined by subtracting the total expenses from the total revenue. It is the net profit of the company earned during the period which is generally determined by preparing the income statement. 

Return on Investment or asset: It establishes the relationship between the net income and the assets or capital employed. The ratio is used to measure the overall performance of an organization by looking at how efficiently an organization uses its resources.
