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

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

hey hey der u the savage!!

I hv read that announcement... besides my sum doesn't jusk ask for the rate of retrun on resources... there are 4 more ratios that they asked for which I had the answer... operatin ratio, current ratio, stockturnover & fixed assets turnover. 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... I first read & agreed to the annuncement for homeworks!!
now anyone can help me again please
