Exercise 9-15
Suppose during 2017 that Federal Express reported the following information (in millions): net sales of $34,700 and net income of $94. Its balance sheet also showed total assets at the beginning of the year of $24,640 and total assets at the end of the year of $23,300.
Calculate the asset turnover and return on assets. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 6.25 or 17.54%.)
Explanation / Answer
Asset turnover = Net Sales / [(Beginning Assets + Ending Assets) / 2]
= $34,700 / [($24,640 + $23,300) / 2]
= 1.45
Return on assets = Net income / [(Beginning Assets + Ending Assets) / 2]
= $94 / [($24,640 + $23,300) / 2]
= 0.39%
