A. 2.46 times

B. 2.05 times

C. 0.49 times

D. 1.16 times

B. 2.05 times

Explanation:

Asset turnover ratio is computed by dividing net sales by average total assets

Given the following information about Maple Corp. for the year ended December 31, 2017

Beginning total assets = $83,200

Ending total assets = $116,500

Average total assets = (83,200+116,500) / 2

= 199700 / 2

= $99,850

net sales = $204,550

Asset turnover ratio = net sales/average total assets

= $204,550/$99,850

= 2.05 times
