What is the current year's return on equity (ROE)?
Return on assets is calculated by using the below formula:
= Net Income / Average total assets
Net Income = Sales - COGS - Depreciation - interest expense - operating expenses - taxes
= 337,725 - 175,742 - 22,788 - 16,458 - 64,454 - 18,959
= 39,324
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Equity
Total Assets of prior year = Accounts payable + Accruals + Additional paid in capital + Common stock @ par value + Long term debt + Notes payable + Retained Earnings
= 41,400 + 16,200 + 200,000 + 37,600 + 135,000 + 59,400 + 122,400
= 612,000
Hence the total assets of prior year are 612,000
Total Assets of current year = Accounts payable + Accruals + Additional paid in capital + Common stock @ par value + Long term debt + Notes payable + Retained Earnings
= 45,000 + 13,500 + 216,660 + 42,000 + 138,348 + 64,800 + 136,800
= 657,108
Hence the total assets of current year are 658,656
So the average total assets is
= (612,000 + 657,108) / 2
= 634,554
So the return on assets will be
= Net Income / Average total assets
= 39,324 / 634,554
= 0.0620 or 6.20% Approximately
