Answer 1

a business is using its assets to generate sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the asset turnover ratio is shown below:

Asset turnover ratio = Net sales ÷ average total assets

where,

Average total assets = (Opening balance of assets + ending balance of assets) ÷ 2

And, the net sales = sales revenue - sales discounts - sales returns

Thus, option A is correct and the rest options are wrong
