Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

The net profit margin is

= Net income ÷ sales revenue

= $184,000 ÷ $574,000

= 32%

The asset turnover is

= Sales revenue ÷ average of assets

= $574,000 ÷ ($2,142,000 + $1,998,000)  ÷ 2

= $574,000 ÷ $2,070,000

= 0.28 times

c. The return on assets is

= Net income ÷ average of assets

= $184,000 ÷ $2,070,000

= 0.089

= 8.89%
