Answer:

ROA for the current year: 18.86%

ROA for the Prior year: 20.26%

Explanation:

Return on assets (ROA) helps an investor see how much after-tax profit a company gained for each dollar in assets, is calculated by formula:

ROA = Net Income/ Average Total Assets

In Current year, The TXJ Companies, Inc. had Net income of $2,298,234 and Average total assets of $12,187,120

ROA for the current year = ($2,298,234/$12,187,120)x100% = 18.86%

In Prior year, the company had Net income of $2,277,658 and Average total assets of $11,239,591.

ROA for the Prior year = ($2,277,658/$11,239,591)x100% = 20.26%
