D. 9.8%

Answer 1

Answer:

9.8%

Explanation:

The return on assets ratio( ROA ) measures the efficiently in which a business manages its assets to generate profits during a period.

The formula for calculating Return on assets is as follows.

return of asset ratio = Net income/ Average Total Assets x 100

For metro corporation:

net income: $ 2,400

Average total assets : = $30,000 +$19,000/2

                                    =$24,500

ROA=  $2400/$24500x100

=0.098 x100

=9.8%
