Answer:

48  cans of pineapple juice he should use.

Step-by-step explanation:

This, is a problem of ratio where we have to use the concept

a:b = c:d which can be also written as

a/b = c/d

______________________________________________________

According recipe

we find ratio of pineapple and orange juice

amount pine apple juice :  amount of orange juice = 2 cans : 3 cans

Thus, ratio of pineapple and orange juice = 2:3

___________________________________

Given that this recipe is used for making juice in large batch for a community function

Given

amount of orange juice = 72 cans

let the amount of  pine apple juice be x

ratio of pineapple and orange juice in this case

amount pine apple juice :  amount of orange juice = x cans : 72 cans

ratio of pineapple and orange juice in this case= x : 72

since recipe used is same.

ratio will be same in both case that in recipe ratio and large batch preparation for community function

Thus,

x:72 = 2:3

which can also be written as

x/ 72 = 2/3

x = 2/3 * 72 = 48

Thus, 48  cans of pineapple juice he should use.

The ABC Company has a net income of $56,000, assets at the beginning of the year are $263,000 and assets at the end of the year
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

19.4 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for<em> return on assets</em> (ROA) is

ROA = Net income /Total assets × 100 %

Since assets vary, we use the <em>average</em> of the total assets over the period.

<em>Calculate the average total assets</em>

At beginning of year, total assets = $263 000

At end of year, total assets            = $313 000

Average = (313 000 + 263 000)/2

Average = 576 000/2

Average = $288 000

===============

<em>Calculate the ROA</em>

Net income = $56 000

ROA = 56 000/288 000 × 100 %

ROA = 0.194 × 100 %

ROA = 19.4 %

The company’s return on assets is 19.4 %.
