Answer:

a. FedEx = 2.3 , UPS = 3.2

b. UPS appears to be more efficient in using fixed assets as it is able to generate a sales of $3.20 for every $1 invested in assets as against a sale of $2.30 for every $1 invested in asset generated by FedEx

Explanation:

Asset turnover is the ratio of revenue to average assets of a company. It is a financial indicator that shows how much revenue a company generates in an accounting period for each  $1 invested in assets (fixed asset in this case).

Mathematically,

Fixed asset turnover = sales/average fixed asset

The fixed asset turnover ratio for;

FedEx = $47,453/$20,213

= 2.3

UPS = $58,363/$18,317

= 3.2
