7.3%; 12.17%; 0.6 times; 15.95%

Explanation:

Return on assets:

= Net Income : Average total assets

= ($65,700 : $900,000) * 100

= 7.3%

Profit Margin:

= Net Income : Net Sales

= ($65,700 : $540,000) * 100

= 12.17%

Asset Turnover:

= Net Sales : Average Total Assets

= $540,000 : $900,000

= 0.6 times

Return on Equity:

= Net Income before dividend : Equity

= [ ($65,700 + $30,000) : $600,000] * 100

= ($95,700 : $600,000] * 100

= 15.95%
