Explanation:

Note Missing question is attached as picture below

Average total assets = (Opening total assets+Closing total assets)/2

Average total assets = ($396,000 + $257,000) / 2

Average total assets = $653,000 / 2

Average total assets = $326,500

Return on total assets = (Net income + Interest expense)/Average total assets

Return on total assets = ($181,000 + $25,000) / $326,500

Return on total assets = $206,000 / $326,500

Return on total assets = 0.6309342

Return on total assets = 63.09%
