Return on Debt (ROD)

  • Definition: ROD measures the profitability of using borrowed funds. 

  • Calculation: ROD is typically calculated by dividing a company's total interest expense by its average total debt. 

  • Significance: It indicates how effectively a company uses borrowed funds to generate profits. A higher ROD suggests that a company is generating more profit from its debt than the cost of borrowing. 

  • Formula: ROD = Interest Expense / Average Total Debt. 

In essence: ROC assesses the overall return on all capital (both debt and equity), while ROD focuses on the profitability of the debt portion of that capital.
