Answer 1

11.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

Average assets = [Total assets 12/31/21 + Total assets 12/31/22] / 2

Average assets = [$1085 + $1150] / 2

Average assets = $2,235 / 2

Average assets = $1,117.50

Return on Assets = Net income / Average assets

Return on Assets = $130 / $1,117.50

Return on Assets = 0.1163311

Return on Assets = 11.63%

So therefore, Sandhill's return on assets for 2022 is 11.63%.
