Answer 1

Answer: 6.67%

Explanation:

Return on Investment is calculated by dividing Income from operations by average total assets.

Average Total Assets = (Beginning Value + Closing Value) / 2

= (2,700,000 + 3,300,000 )/2

= 6,000,000/2

= $3,000,000

Return on Investment = Income from operations/ Average Total Assets

Return on Investment = 200,000/3,000,000

Return on Investment = 0.06667

= 6.67%
