Companies A and B have the same sales and operating profit, but very different leverage (A has no debt, B has high debt). DuPont analysis shows this in terms of RoA (higher for A, since there is no interest) and RoE (higher for B, since the equity is a much smaller percentage of the Equity plus Liabilities total).
