    15.79%

    Explanation:

    Current Average operating asset = $500,000

    Decrease in asset base will make average operating asset $380,000 [500000 - 120000]

    ROI = Operating Income / New operating asset base

    =$60,000 / $380,000

    = 15.78947 ... % = 15.79%

    Hence, the correct answer is 15.79%
