Respuesta :

The answer is 64.

Given,

Mathai Company has sales of $4,800,000 for the current year.

Fixed assets at the beginning of the year were $1,450,000.

Fixed assets at the end of the year were $1,600,000.

An efficiency ratio called fixed asset turnover (FAT) ratio shows how effectively or efficiently a company uses fixed assets to produce sales. This ratio, determined over an annual period, divides net sales by average fixed assets.

Therefore, the Fixed asset ratio = Net sales/Average fixed assets

where:

Net Sales = Gross sales - returns and allowances

Average Fixed Assets = (NABB - Ending Balance)/2

NABB = Net fixed assets' beginning balance

Now substituting the values in the above equation we get,

Fixed asset ratio = $4,800,000 / {($1,600,000 - $1,450,000)/2}

                            = $4,800,000/$75,000

                            = 64

Hence, The fixed asset turnover ratio for Mathai is 64.
