11.9%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Company's net income last year = $65,000

Interest expense = $20,000

Beginning assets = $640,000

Ending assets = $690,000

Now,

Average total assets = [ Beginning assets + Ending assets] ÷ 2

= [ $640,000 + $690,000 ] ÷ 2

= $665,000

Adjusted net income = Net income + [ Interest expense × (1 -Tax rate) ]

= $65,000 + [ $20,000 × (1 - 0.30) ]

= $79,000

Return on total assets = ( Adjusted net income ) ÷ ( Average total assets )

= $79,000 ÷ $665,000

= 0.1188

or

= 0.1188 × 100%

= 11.88% ≈ 11.9%

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
