Question

Dawson Electronic Services had revenues of $106,000 and expenses of $63,000 for the year. Its assets at the beginning of the year were $413,000. At the end of the year assets were worth $463,000. Calculate its return on assets.

Answer 1

Answer:Return On Assets=9.8%

Explanation:

Return On Assets =Net income/Average total assets

But

Net income=Revenues-Expenses

=$106,000 - $63,000

= $43,000

And Average total assets  is given as  (Beginning assets +Ending assets)/2

= ($413,000+$463000)/2=$876,000 /2

=$438,000

Therefore Return On Assets =Net income/Average total assets

= $43,000 / $438,000

=0.098 x 100

=9.8%
