|
| Return is the surplus of the money amount received back from an investment, compared with the initial amount invested.
| | Reverse logistics means collecting used products and materials from customers for reuse, recycling or upcycling. |
| | |
| Or the surplus of the current value, over and above the initial amount invested.
| |
| | |
| Interest earned is an example of an investment return.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Returns can be negative.
| |
| | |
| Negative returns mean that the amounts received back from an investment are less than the amounts initially invested.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 2. ''Investment appraisal.''
| |
| | |
| An abbreviation for ''rate of return''.
| |
| | |
| | |
| To facilitate comparisons, rates of return are usually expressed as a percentage of the initial amount invested, often as an effective annual rate of return.
| |
| | |
| When expressed on this basis, the rate of return is also known as 'yield'.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 3. ''Investment appraisal.''
| |
| | |
| Return can also sometimes mean the ''total'' money amount received back at the end of investment period, including the initial amount invested.
| |
| | |
| Here as elsewhere, transparency and consistency of definitions are essential.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 4. ''Reporting.''
| |
| | |
| A return is also a regular and standard-formatted report.
| |
| | |
| For example, a tax return made to a tax authority.
