Swiss Group reports net income of $40,000 for 2019. At the beginning of 2019, Swiss Group had $200,000 in assets. By the end of 2019, assets had grown to $300,000. What is Swiss Group's 2016 return on assets? How would you assess its performance if competitors average an 11% return on assets?

Answer 1

For the tear 2019, net income is 40,000

Beginning of the year 2019, asset of the S are 200,000

Ending of the year 2019, asset of the S are 300,000

Average asset for 2019= Beginning assets + Closing assets / 2

Average asset for 2019= 200,000 + 300,000 / 2

Average asset for 2019= $250,000

Return on assets = Net income / Average assets * 100%

= 40,000 / 250,000 * 100

=16%

Thus, the return on assets is 16%

Conclusion: If the average return of assets of the competitors are 11%, It means S uses the assets efficient manner, so performance of the S is very good ad return of the S is higher than competitors on asset
