Answer:

C) Townson's fixed asset turnover ratio has decreased between Year 1 and Year 2.

Explanation:

                      Year 2                               Year 1

Sales           $3,645,000                    $4,250,000

Fixed assets:

Beginning of year 880,000 820,000

End of year 520,000 880,000

fixed asset turnover (FAT) ratio = net sales / average fixed assets

FAT ratio year 1 = $4,250,000 / [($820,000 + $880,000) / 2] = 5

FAT ratio year 2 = $3,645,000 / [($880,000 + $520,000) / 2] = 5.2

Townson's fixed asset turnover ratio increased between year 1 and year 2.
