Step-by-step solution

Here's how to solve this exercise:

  1. Calculate the Average Total Assets.

    The average total assets are calculated by summing the opening and closing total assets and dividing by 2.

    Average Total Assets=Opening Total Assets+Closing Total Assets2\text{Average Total Assets} = \frac{\text{Opening Total Assets} + \text{Closing Total Assets}}{2}

    Given:
    Opening Total Assets = K180,000
    Closing Total Assets = K210,000

    Average Total Assets=K180,000+K210,0002\text{Average Total Assets} = \frac{\text{K}180,000 + \text{K}210,000}{2} Average Total Assets=K390,0002\text{Average Total Assets} = \frac{\text{K}390,000}{2} Average Total Assets=K195,000\text{Average Total Assets} = \text{K}195,000

    The average total assets are K195,000\boxed{\text{K}195,000}.

  2. Calculate the Assets Turnover Ratio.

    The assets turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate sales.

    Assets Turnover Ratio=Net Sales RevenueAverage Total Assets\text{Assets Turnover Ratio} = \frac{\text{Net Sales Revenue}}{\text{Average Total Assets}}

    Given:
    Net Sales Revenue = K120,000
    Average Total Assets = K195,000 (from Step 1)

    Assets Turnover Ratio=K120,000K195,000\text{Assets Turnover Ratio} = \frac{\text{K}120,000}{\text{K}195,000} Assets Turnover Ratio≈0.61538\text{Assets Turnover Ratio} \approx 0.61538

    Rounding to two decimal places:

    Assets Turnover Ratio≈0.62 times\text{Assets Turnover Ratio} \approx 0.62 \text{ times}

    The assets turnover ratio is approximately 0.62 times\boxed{0.62 \text{ times}}.

  3. Interpret the results.

    The assets turnover ratio of approximately 0.62 times means that for every K1 of assets the company owns, it generates K0.62 in net sales revenue. This ratio indicates how effectively the company is utilizing its assets to produce sales. A lower ratio might suggest that the company is not efficiently using its assets to generate revenue, or it could be typical for certain industries that require significant asset investment. To fully assess efficiency, this ratio should be compared to industry averages or the company's historical performance.
