Answer #1

Asset turnover = Net sales / Total Assets

Net sales = $304,380

Total Assets = Net fixed assets + Net Working Capital + Current Liabilities = $64,000 + $34,000 + $16,000 = $114,000

Asset turnover = $304,380 / $114,000

Asset turnover = 2.67

The Grill Cedar Asset turnover (2.67) is lower then its competitor's (2.75), so Grill Cedar is less efficient than its competitor.

Because asset turnover suggests that for every $1 invested how much sales are generated. So Grill Cedar generates $2.67 for every $1 asset invested. Lower the total asset turnover ratio, the less efficient the company is.

Answer is 2.67, less efficient
