ACCA · Question 31 · Interpretation of Financial Statements

Section A

A company has Revenue of $800,000, Gross Profit of $300,000, and Operating Profit of $120,000. Total Assets are $650,000 and Current Liabilities are $150,000.

Calculate the Asset Turnover ratio. (Enter the number only, rounded to one decimal place, e.g., 1.5)

How to approach this question

Asset Turnover = Revenue / Capital Employed. Capital Employed = Total Assets - Current Liabilities.

Full Answer

Capital Employed = Total Assets ($650,000) - Current Liabilities ($150,000) = $500,000. Asset Turnover = Revenue / Capital Employed = $800,000 / $500,000 = 1.6 times.

Common mistakes

Using Gross Profit or Operating Profit instead of Revenue, or using Total Assets without deducting Current Liabilities.
