Explanation:

The return on net assets show how well management has used the assets of the company to generate income. It is a financial ratio given as

= net income/average total assets

Average total assets = ($149,000 + $199,000) / 2

Return on asset = $36,000 / $174,000

= 0.21 times

This means the company's management is able to generate $0.21 for every $1 invested in assets.
