D) 9.2

Answer 1

Answer:

The company's turnover rounded to the nearest tenth: C) 9.5

Explanation:

Asset turnover helps investors understand how effectively companies are using their assets to generate sales. Asset turnover is calculated by using following formula:

Asset Turnover =  Total Sales or Revenue/ Average Total Assets  

where:

Average Total Assets = (Beginning Assets + Ending Assets )/2 = (Assets at the beginning of year  +Assets at end of year )/2

In the House of Orange:

Average Total Assets = ($84,000 + $90,000)/2 = $87,000

Asset Turnover = $826,650/$87,000 = 9.5
