Answer 1

Answer: 2.50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Asset turn over ratio = net sales or revenue/average total assets

Net sales/revenue -- 16.25 percent or 16.25%

Profit margin/average total asset -- 6.5 percent or 6.5%

Asset turn over ratio = 16.25/6.5

= 2.50%

Answer 2

The assets turnover is 2.54
