    Solution

    Risk Adjusted Return On Capital: It gives us a clear understanding of risk and reward on capital used and, therefore, it provides a good measure of performance across all business units and business activities. It is defined as a ratio of expected risk adjusted net income, net of taxes to economic capital expressed in percentage.
