The computations are shown below:

Explanation:

Return On Assets = Net income : Average Total Assets * 100

where,

Average of Assets = (Beginning Total Assets + Ending Total Assets) : 2

= ($75,183 + $116,371) : 2

= $191,554 : 2

= $95,777

So, the return on investment is

=$25,922 : $95,777 * 100

= 27.06%

Profit Margin = Net income : Sales * 100

= $25,922 : $108,249 * 100

= 23.95%

Assets Turnover = Sales : Average of Total Assets

= $108,249 : $95,777

= 1.13
