Answer:

Return on Assets (2006) = 7.60 %

Explanation:

Return on Assets = Earnings Before Interest and Tax  ÷ Total Assets

Therefore,

Return on Assets (2006) = ($115,000 + $30,000) / ( $600,000 + $60,000 +  $900,000) × 100

                                         = $118,000 / $1,560,000 × 100

                                         = 7.60 % (one decimal place)
