15. June 1, 2015 Tfin 2007 01 Introduction |15 M/B vs ROE Simplifying assumptions: · Expected net income income = constant · Net income = dividend Market value determination: Net income = Expected return  Market value of equity NI = r  MVeq ROE (definition): Return on equity = Net income / Book value of equity ROE = NI / BVeq = r  MVeq / Bveq Conclusion: in this simplified setting, –M/B = MVeq/BVeq > 1  ROE> r
