Answer 1

MCQ 99. 32.02%

MCQ 109 Option A

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Return on assets is the ratio of annual net income to average total assets of a business during a financial year. It measures efficiency of the business in using its assets to generate net income. It is a profitability ratio.

ROA = Net Income/ Average asset

ROA = 2690000/ 8400000

ROA = 0.3202 or 32.02% (Correct option is D)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unrealized loss = Cost – Fair value

                              = 275000 – 261000

                                = (14000)

Correct journal entry will be

Debit Unrealized Loss – Equity $14,000; Credit Fair Value Adjustment – Available-for-Sale (LT) $14,000.

Correct option is A.
