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

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Answer is option b, i.e. purchase of natural gas by U.S. households.

Explanation:

Consumption component of U.S. GDP includes purchase of various durable goods, non-durable goods, and also various intangible services. But anything that is purchased as a means of investment rather than for personal consumption is not regarded as consumption component in GDP. Here, purchase of newly constructed houses is an asset and thus, is not included in these components. Similarly, purchase made for business purposes is also excluded from the list of consumption components.
