(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

1.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Net fixed assets (beginning of year) = $1,860,000

Net fixed assets (end of year) = $2,280,000

Net operating revenues for the year = $3,230,000

Net income for the year = $1,600,000

Now,

company's fixed asset turnover ratio for the year

= Net operating revenues ÷ Average total assets

Also,

Average total assets

= [Net fixed assets (beginning of year) + Net fixed assets (end of year) ] ÷ 2

= [ $1,860,000 + $2,280,000 ] ÷ 2

= $2,070,000

Therefore,

Company's fixed asset turnover ratio for the year

= $3,230,000 ÷ $2,070,000

= 1.56
