Explanation / Answer
Asset turnover = Sales / total Assets
Normally we consider average total assets, but here i am considering only that year assets as base
2017 Sales = 18600
2017 Total Assets = 90000
2017 Asset turnover ratio = 18600 / 90000 = 0.21
2016 Sales = 15200
2016 Total Assets = 66800
2016 Asset turnover ratio = 15200 / 66800 = 0.23
