It is really high time for investors to identify the banks which have high capability to earn profit with utilization of their available resources (assets). Earning huge profit is not a big game but earning those profits with minimum utilization of resources (assets) is a great deal for every commercial bank.
Every commercial bank creates assets to earn revenue and profit. But all the banks are not capable of earning at the same rate by utilizing the same amount of assets. The total assets of the commercial banks include cash balance, money at call, investment, loans & advances, fixed assets, non-banking assets and other assets etc. Among all those assets, the bank earns maximum by utilizing their funds on loan and advances.
Here we try to find out the best bank in terms of assets utilization for generating profit.
Return on Assets (ROA) is a financial ratio that shows the percentage of net profit of the banks in relation to its overall assets mobilization. It is commonly defined as net profit divided by total assets. ROA answers the question: "What can you do with the assets that is available with you?" The higher the ROA, the better the management and the company is.

So for the rational investors, it’s wise to choose company not only with high profit but also with high earning capacity with minimum utilization of resources (assets).
