Financial Leverage % = ROE – ROA (≠Financial Leverage of the DuPont formula).
When positive borrow at one rate and invest at a higher rate of return (ROA).
ROA needs to be greater than after tax interest expense.

LEVERAGE: a measure of how much debt the firm has relative to equity;
SPREAD: the difference between ROA and the after‐tax interest rate on the firm's debt

Three drivers of ROE are:


1. Return on Assets (ROA)
2. Leverage (the amount of debt relative to equity)
3. Spread (the excess of ROA over the after‐tax interest rate)
