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.
