    Return on total resources(assets) = Net sales/ Total assets

    = 850,000 / (150,000+ 80,000+ 149,000+ 71,000+ 30,000)
    = 850,000/480,000
    = 1.77

    Since the original poster has never learned this math lesson -- are you willing to do them all for them?

For which I got all the answers correcly... but I had a sum in my reader which just had the questions & it just told me the final answers... well I knew 4 out of 5.. & the answer for return on resources was given as 41.4% & I figuring out how to get to that answer... I had just done what THE PHANTOM formula before even posting this question into this site... I got that same answer but my text book says 41.4%... so tell me whether I am transferring my homework to the site... also when I signed into this site...
