Explanation:

The total assets turnover is a measure used to assess the performance of businesses in terms of their efficiency to use their assets for generating sales. It calculates how much sale each dollar of asset is generating. The formula for total assets turnover is as follows,

Total assets turnover = Net Sales / Average total assets

Where,

Average total assets = (Total assets at start + Total assets at end) / 2

Total assets turnover - year 2 = 4970000 / [(1684000 + 1780000) / 2]

Total assets turnover - year 2 = 2.8695

Total assets turnover - year 3 = 8532000 / [(1780000 + 1949000) / 2]

Total assets turnover - year 3 = 4.5760
