Enter the ROA as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

4.74%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total receivables = $3,160

Day's sales in receivables = 20

Total assets = $73,000

Operating profit margin = 6.0%

Now,

Total sales = Total receivables * [365 : Day's sales in receivables ]

= 3,160 * [ 365 : 20 ]

= $57,670

Assets turnover ratio = Total sales : Total assets

= $57,670 : $73,000

= 0.79

Therefore,

ROA = Assets Turnover ratio * Profit margin

= 0.79 * 6.0%

= 4.74%
