    The correct option is B

    Explanation:

    The return on assets would be:

    Return on assets (ROA) = Assets * Return

    = $45,000,000 * 12%

    = $5,400,000

    Return per customer = ROA / Number of golfers

    = $5,400,000 / 400,000

    = $13.50

    Fixed Cost per Customer = Fixed Cost / Number of golfers

    = $20,000,000 / 400,000

    = $50

    Cost to be charged per customer = Profit + Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

    = $13.50 + $50 + $15

    = $78.50
