Explanation / Answer

Average Operating Asset = $167,749

Average non-Operating Asset = $7,787

Average total Assets = $175,535

Net Income = $15,959

Return on Net Operating Assets (RNOA) is calculated below using following formula:

RNOA = Net Income / (Average Operating Asset + Average non-Operating Asset)

              = $15,959 / ($167,749 + $7,787)

              = $15,959 / $175,535

              = 9.09%

Return on Net Operating Assets (RNOA) is 9.09%

Hence, option (D) is correct answer.
