Answer 1

Answer: 180%

Step-by-step explanation:

Return on investment = (operating income/sales) x (sales/total assets)

=> operating income / total assets

given Operating income=1,800,000

Total assets.1,000,000

Current liabilities.=810,000

Return on investment=1,800,000/1,000,00=1.8 X 100= 180%
