For every $1 in assets, the firm earned gross profit of $3.0 during the period.
For every $1 in assets, the firm earned $3.0 in net income.
For every $1 in assets, the firm paid $3.0 in expenses during the period.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Purchase cost - residual value) ÷ (Remaining life left)

= ($61,300 - $5,900) ÷ ( 8 - 2)

= $55,400 ÷ 6 years

= $9,233.33

Now for the six months it would be

= $9,233.33 × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $4,616.67

The asset turnover is the turnover that comes by dividing the revenue from the average of the total assets

Here as per the given option the second option is correct as it correctly represents the asset turnover
