Marianna Haney · Answer 1

A. 1.38 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,

Asset Turnover ratio = Net Sales (or Revenue) / Average Total Assets

Given,

Net Sales (Revenue) = $51,000 x 12 = $612,000

Total Assets = $360,000 + 83,000 = $443,000

Putting the value in the formula, we get,

Asset Turnover ratio = $612,000/443,000

Asset Turnover ratio = 1.38 times

It means total assets generate 1.38 times of sales.
