1. Sales have increased by 15% & avg total assets have increased by 12% since that time. What is the current asset turnover ratio? Last years asset turnover ratio was 1.5
2. What are the annual sales for this company with $582,000 debt, a total debt ratio of 0.6, and an asset turnover of 2.7?

Explanation / Answer

Solution 1:

Current asset turnover = last year’s asset turnover x (+ Increase in sales)/ (+ increase in assets)

                                                = 1.50 x (1+0.15)/ (1+0.12)

                                                = 1.725 / 1.12

                                                = 1.54

Therefore, current asset turnover would be 1.54.
