What does this relation suggest about Netflixs use of equity capital? ROBRNOA implies that Netflix's equity has grown faster than its NOA. The faster increase of equity compared to NOA allows higher dividends to be paid to Netflix stockholders. ROERNOA implies that Netflix is able to borrow money to fund operating assets that yield a return greater than its cost of debt. The excess accrues to the benefit of Nets stockholders ROERNOA implies that Netflix has taken on too much financial leverage. The high financial leverage results in a higher interest rate on Netflix's debt, therefore the cost of debt is greater ROERNOA implies that Netflix has increased its financial leverage during the period. The increase in financial leverage also increases Netfli's risk, therefore increasing the expected ROE by Netflix's stockholders Check
