    The non-operating return is - 10.1%.

    Explanation:

    Non - operating return is the income which is received to the company and it is not related to the business core of the company. Its example is profit from the investment.

    Computing the non - operating return of the company as:

    ROE = RNOA + Non-operating return

    where

    ROE (Return on Equity) is 3.5%

    RNOA (Return on net operating assets) = NOAT (net operating asset turnover) * NOPM (net operating profit margin)

    RNOA = 4.39 * 3.1%

    RNOA = 0.136

    So,

    Non - operating return = ROE - RNOA

    Non - operating return = 3.5% - 0.136

    Non - operating income = 3.5% - 13.6%

    Non - operating income = - 10.1%

    Therefore, Non - operating income is - 10.1%.
