    Sir

    Are both return on investment and residual income based on accounting measures of profit and capital employed which may be subject to manipulation

    Or is it only based on residual income ?

    And this is a disadvantage isn’t it sir

    They are both subject to manipulation and it is a problem with both measures.

    Because profits can be manipulated by things like deciding what rate of depreciation to charge and what to accrue and prepay.
