b.2.8 times.
c.2.3 times.
d.1.7 times

Answer 1

Answer:

b.2.8 times.

Explanation:

Asset turnover =  net sales/average total assets

From Stein Corporation report,

Net sales = $3,500,000

Beginning total assets = $1,000,000

Ending total assets = $1,500,000

Average total asset = ($1,000,000 + $1,500,000)/2

                                 = $1,250,000

Asset turnover = $3,500,000/$1,250,000

                         = 2.8 times

Option b is right.
