A. Compute the Net-operating Asset turnover (NOAT) of IBM Company in 2019. Suppose that the industry
average NOAT is 2.5x. Evaluate the asset management performance of the company compared to the industry
(6 pts
Net-Operating Asset Turnover is basically an efficiency ratio. It identifies how well a company is using its operating assets to generate revenue.
NOAT Ratio = Revenue/Operating Assets
Revenue = Sales
Operating Asset = Assets that are essential to the day to day operations of a business
Calculation of Net- Operating Asser Turnover of IBM Company in 2019
Revenue = 77,147
Operating Assets = 1,30,184 (Refer table below)
Therefore
NOAT Ratio = 77,147/1,30,184 = 0.59 times
Asset | Value |
Cash | 8,313 |
Account receivables | 23,795 |
Inventory | 1,619 |
Net Fixed Asset | 96,457 |
Total | 1,30,184 |
Evaluation: Since industry average NOAT is 2.5 times which is better than 0.59 times, which shows the poor management of asset by company.
