Answer 1

Answer:

ROA = 0.08 or 8%

Asset turnover = 2.4

Profit Margin = 0.033 OR 3.3%

Explanation:

All of the above requirements can be calculated as follows according to  their formula

Working

Average asset = (Assets at beginning + assets at end )/ 2

Average assets = (4025 + 4970 )/ 2

Average assets = $4497.5

Requirement A. Return on assets

ROA = Net Income / Average assets

ROA = $359.8 / $4497.5(w)

ROA = 0.08 or 8%

Requirement 2 Asset turnover

Asset turnover = Net Sales / Average assets

Asset turnover = $10,794 / $4497.5

Asset turnover = 2.4

Requirement 3 Profit Margin

Profit margin = Net income / Net sales

Profit margin = $359.8/$10,794

Profit Margin = 0.033 OR 3.3%
