**Problem 3-26 (Algo) Return on Assets Analysis [LO3-2]**In January 2009, the Status Quo Company was formed. Total assets were $593,000, of which $351,000 consisted of depreciable fixed assets. Status Quo uses straight-line depreciation of $35,100 per year, and in 2009, it estimated its fixed assets to have useful lives of 10 years. Aftertax income has been $43,000 per year each of the last 10 years. Other assets have not changed since 2009.### Questions:**a.

The only completed value in the table shows that for 2009 the return on assets was 62.91%. When considering the effects:- Part **a** involves computations of Return on Assets which is calculated as Net Income divided by Total Assets.- Part **b** prompts to identify why these changes in Return on Assets might be occurring, offering options likely keyed into the fiscal practices and extrinsic growth metrics (e.g., depreciation, asset increases, market share).- Part **c** asks for hypothetical effects of increasing the income by 10% annually, necessitating a new approach to the calculations made in **part a**.This problem requires understanding both basic accounting principles and the specific workings of depreciation and asset management in relation to net income to solve effectively. ### Financial Analysis Exercise#### Part a. **Compute the return on assets at year-end for the years 2009, 2011, 2014, 2016, and 2019.** *Note: Input your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.*| Year | Return on Assets ||------|------------------|| 2009 | 62.91% || 2011 | || 2014 | || 2016 | || 2019 | |#### Part b.**To what do you attribute the phenomenon shown in part a?**- [ ] Annual depreciation charges- [ ] Increase in current assets- [ ] Increase in market share#### Part c.**Now assume income increased by 10 percent each year.

NOT GRADED Net Present Value AnalysisChampion Company is considering a contract that would require an expansion of its food processing capabilities. The contract covers five years. To provide the required products, Champion would have to purchase additional equipment for $80,000. Champion estimates the contract will provide annual net cash inflows (before taxes) of $35,000. For tax purposes, the equipment will be depreciated as follows: Year 1 $10,000 Year 2 20,000 Year 3 20,000 Year 4 20,000 Year 5 10,000 Although salvage value is ignored in the tax depreciation calculations, Champion estimates the equipment will be sold for $10,000 after five years. Assuming a 35% income tax rate and a 10% hurdle rate, compute the net present value of this contract proposal. Using net present value analysis, should Champion accept the contract? Round answers to the nearest whole number. Use rounded answers for subsequent calculations.Use a negative sign with net present value to…
