Answer 1

c. 42.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Average total assets = $410,000+$257,000/2

Average total assets = $667,000

Average total assets = $333,500

Net income = $112,000

Interest expenses = $30,000

Return on total assets = Net income + Interest expenses / Average total assets

Return on total assets = $112,000 + $30,000 / $333,500

Return on total assets = 0.42388060

Return on total assets = 42.39%
