Question

Speedy has net income of $30,955, and assets at the beginning of the year of $212,000. Assets at the end of the year total $258,000. Compute its return on assets.

Answer 1

Answer:

13.17%

Explanation:

Given that;

Net income = $30,955

Asset at the beginning of the year = $212,000

Asset at the end of the year = $258,000

Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets

But,

Average total assets = (Assets at the beginning of the year + Assets at the end of the year ) / 2

Average total assets = ($212,000 + $258,000) / 2

Average total assets = $235,000

Therefore,

Return on assets = ($30,955 / $235,000) × 100

Return on assets = 13.17%
