Answer 1

Answer:

a. Asset turnover = Sales/Average total assets

Asset turnover= 515.7/[(930.9+920.1)/2]

Asset turnover = 515.7 / 925.5

Asset turnover = 0.5572123

Asset turnover = 0.557

b. Return on Assets = Net income/Average total assets

Return on Assets= 80.7/[(930.9+920.1)/2]

Return on Assets = 80.7 / 925.5

Return on Assets = 0.08719

Return on Assets= 8.72%

c. Profit Margin = Net income/Sales

Profit Margin = 80.7/515.7

Profit Margin = 15.65%
