Royal Dutch Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (1.4) % which means that it has lost $1.4 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 3.1 %, meaning that it generated $3.1 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Royal Dutch's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Royal Dutch manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 95.39 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.57, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Royal Dutch Shell has a current ratio of 1.23, suggesting that it may have difficulties to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Royal Dutch until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Royal Dutch's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Royal Dutch Shell sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Royal to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Royal Dutch's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
