b. Does the change in the fixed asset turnover ratio from 20Y4 to 20Y5 indicate a favorable or an unfavorable change?

Respuesta :

Answer:

20Y5 = 2.4

20Y4 = 1.5

It is favourable

Explanation:

Fixed asset turnover = revenue / average net fixed assets

Average fixed asset =( fixed asset at the beginning of year + fixed asset at the end of year) / 2

20y5 = (720,000 + 760,000) / 2 = 740,000

20y4 = (720,000 + 640000) / 2 = 680,000

Fixed asset turnover = $1,776,000 / 740,000 = 2.4

$1,020,000 / 680,000 = 1.5

the higher the ratio, the better for a firm. it means that less fixed asset is generating higher revenues
