Answer 1

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for Cowl's rate of return on assets for 20X4

Using this formula

Rate of return on assets=Net income/[(Total assets January 1, Year 4 +Total assets, December 31, Year 4)/2]

Let plug in the formula

Rate of return on assets= $150,000/[($2,000,000 + $3,000,000)/2]

Rate of return on assets= $150,000/($5,000,0000/2)

Rate of return on assets= $150,000/2,500,000

Rate of return on assets= 0.06×100

Rate of return on assets= 6%

Therefore Rate of return on assets will be 6%
