Answer:
ROA = 30.3030%
Explanation:
ROA = operating income / average assets
were average assets = ( beginning assets + ending assets ) / 2
operating income = net income + interest expense
= 48,000 + 2,000 = 50,000 income generate by assets
average assets = (160,000 + 170,000) / 2 = 165,000
ROA = 50,000 / 165,000 = 0.303030 = 30.3030%
Remember:
If you are given with the net income value and the list of expenses, look out for interest expenses, because those are generate by the liabilities ofthe company, so to clean up the income we add them to the net income to show the ammount generate by assets
