Different currencies? I bet the exchange rate fluctuations will make this comparison a real headache.

Borrowing at 7% in Country Y? No wonder they're not making as much profit as Country X. That's a huge difference!

Wow, 10% inflation in Country Y? That's going to make things tricky when trying to compare the financials.

The corporate tax rate difference between the two countries would definitely impact the comparison of return on capital employed. That's a clear limitation.
