    Just so you know I have attempted to work this problem using Personal trainer. Such information has been given as the rate earned on total assets is computed by adding interest expense plus net income then divding by the average total assets. Our text book has given the first year at 12%, every time I computed this it gave me something else. 150,000 plus 187,500 = 337500 beg year 1,300,000 end year 1,450,000 = 2,750,000
    then 2,750,000/2 = 1,375,000 I got 0.2454 rounded would be 24.5 , I aopologize but wasn't trying to make someone worked the problem just had to put all the information to see if or what in my formula is being done wrong. My classmates are having the same problem and unfortunately our instructor is not responding as yet to help and our deadline is tomorrow. But Thanks anyway. I will try somewhere else. Thank you
