    Sure. The earnings yield is meant to be compared against other investment vehicles like bonds. Anything over 10% is cheap, and anything over 17% or so is very cheap.

    For MFI return on capital, anything over 100% I would consider very high, 60-100% quite high.

    For large-cap, blue chip stocks like KO or PG, you usually see an earnings yield around 6-7% and ROIC in the 30-40% range.
