8.00%

Explanation:

The computation of the return on total assets is shown below:

Return on assets = (Net income) : (average of total assets)

where,

Net income is $20,500

Average total assets = (Beginning total assets + ending total assets) : 2

= ($206,000 + $306,000) : 2

= $256,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the ratio would equal to

= $20,500 : $256,000

= 8.00%
