14.1%

Explanation:

Cash return on assets is the ratio of a company's operating cash flow to its average total assets. It shows how a company is generating cash flow from its assets and compares a company's profitability with other companies.

Cash return on assets = operating cash flow / average total assets

Given that:

operating cash flows = $240,000

Average total assets = ($1.6 million + $1.8 million) / 2 = $1.7 million.

Therefore, Cash return on assets = $240000 / $1.7 million = 0.141 = 14.1%
