Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Calculations showing Operating efficiency:

1. Total Asset Turnover Ratio : Net Sales / Total Assets

Hence Total Asset Turnover = 52211000 / 97916000

Therefore Total Asset Turnover = 0.533

2.Fixed Asset Turnover ratio = Net Sales / Fixed Assets

Hence, Fixed asset turnover ratio = 52211000/ 41233000 ( Total Assets - Total Current Assets)

Therefore, Fixed asset turnover ratio = 1.266

3.Equity Turnover ratio = Net Sales / Total Equity

Hence Equity Turnover Ratio = 52211000/ 26842000

Therefore, Equity Turnover ratio = 1.945

Here Net sales are considered as value of cost of sales.
