Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio:

The fixed-asset turnover ratio is the ratio of net sales to the fixed assets of the company.

Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Net Fixed Assets This ratio is used to measure the operating performance of the company, i.e., how efficiently a company is producing sales with its machines and equipment. In general, a higher fixed-asset turnover ratio indicates that a company has more effectively utilized investment in fixed assets to generate revenue.A declining ratio needs to be analysed to understand if it is bad or good. It may be because of decline of sales or may be due to increase in fixed assets which may be because of expansion carried out by the company and its results are yet to be seen in company's performance. Like ROA, the fixed asset turnover ratio reflects the capital intensity of the company. The number will be different for different industries. Hence you must make use of fixed asset turnover ratio to compare companies in the same industry. 

Working Capital Turnover Ratio:

Working capital is the capital required by a company to run its day to day operations. It is calculated as the current assets minus the current liabilities.A positive value is considered to be working capital surplus indicating that the company can easily manage its day to day operations. However a negative value is considered to be working capital deficit indicating that company needs a working capital loan to manage its day to day operations. Working capital turnover ratio is the ratio of net sales of the company to its working capital. This ratio gives an indication of a company's effectiveness in using working capital. Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Working Capital A high working capital turnover ratio indicates that management is being extremely efficient in using a company's short-term assets and liabilities to support sales. Conversely, a low ratio indicates that a business is investing in too many accounts receivable and inventory assets to support its sales, which could eventually lead to an excessive amount of bad debts and obsolete inventory.

Total Asset Turnover Ratio:

The total asset turnover ratio is the ratio of net sales to the total assets of the company which include both the fixed assets and the current assets.

Total Asset Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Total Assets

This ratio is used to measure how efficiently a company can use its assets to generate sales. Next week we shall try to understand details about remaining Management Efficiency Ratios.
