Answer:

a. 3.80

Explanation:

This ratio is also called sales turnover.

This represent how much a dollar invested in asset can increase sales.

A higher ratio increase the profitability of the company and represent the efficiency of the assets in the business.

sales/average assets = sales to assets ratio

<u>where:</u>

<em>average assets = (beginning assets + ending assets)/2</em>

(175,000 + 167,000)/2 = 171,000

sales to assets :

650,000/ 171,000 = 3.801169 = 3.80
