To calculate the Return on Assets (ROA), we need to determine the total assets and then use the formula for ROA:
\[ \text{ROA} = \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Total Assets}} \]
Step 1: Calculate Total Assets
Total Assets can be calculated as the sum of current assets and long-term assets. In this case, we have the following information:
-
Current Assets:
- Accounts Receivable: \( 122,400 \)
- Cash: \( 21,058 \)
- Inventories: \( 115,200 \)
- Accruals: \( 13,500 \) (not an asset)
Therefore, Current Assets = Accounts Receivable + Cash + Inventories: \[ \text{Current Assets} = 122,400 + 21,058 + 115,200 = 258,658 \]
-
Long-Term Assets:
- Net Fixed Assets: \( 399,600 \)
Total Assets Calculation:
\[ \text{Total Assets} = \text{Current Assets} + \text{Net Fixed Assets} = 258,658 + 399,600 = 658,258 \]
Step 2: Calculate ROA
Now, using the net income \( 39,652 \):
\[ \text{ROA} = \frac{39,652}{658,258} \]
Calculating that gives:
\[ \text{ROA} = 0.0602 \text{ or } 6.02% \]
Final Answer:
The current year's Return on Assets (ROA) is approximately 6.02%.
