Question

Database Systems is considering expansion into a new product line. Assets to support expansion will cost $750,000. It is estimated that Database can generate $2,150,000 in annual sales, with an 7 percent profit margin. What would net income and return on assets (investment) be for the year? (Input your return on assets answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Net income = $ 150500

Return on assets = 20.07 %

Explanation:

Net income = (annual sales)*7%

                    = $ 2150000*7%

                    = $ 150500

return on assets = [net income*100]/[assets to support expansion]

                           = (150500)(100)/(750000)

                           = 20.07 %

Therefore, the Net income for the year is $ 150500 and the Return on assets for the year is 20.07 %.
