Qantas Airways Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of 0.0402 % which means that it generated a profit of $0.0402 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Similarly, it shows a return on equity (ROE) of 0.3852 %, meaning that it generated $0.3852 on every $100 dollars invested by stockholders. Qantas Airways' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Qantas Airways manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Qantas Airways Limited has accumulated 5.29 B in total debt. Qantas Airways has a current ratio of 0.51, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Qantas Airways until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Qantas Airways' shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Qantas Airways sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Qantas to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Qantas Airways' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
