Respuesta :

Answer:

14.7%

Explanation:

The computation of return on investment is shown below:

Return on Investment = Net Income ÷ Average total assets × 100

where,

Net Income is

= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expense  

= $4,525,000 - $2,550,000 - $1,372,000

= $603,000

And,

Average total assets = $4,100,000

So,

Return on Investment is

= $603,000 ÷ $4,100,000 × 100

= 14.7%
