The cause of such a situation for Niposte, Inc. may be that the ability of its management to turn revenue into profits for stockholders is hampered with excessive costs. This is because the return on investment is a profitability ratio that shows how Niposte, Inc. and its competitors are performing in terms of generating profit from revenue through efficient management of operating costs.
