Answer 2

12.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the return on assets is shown below:

As we know that

Return on asset = Net income ÷ Average of total asset

= ($26,000) ÷ ($184,000 + $234,000) ÷ 2

= ($26,000) ÷ ($209,000)

= 12.44%

We simply applied the above formula so that the return on assets could be determined
