Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $700,000

Beginning total assets = $240,000

Ending total assets = $280,000

The asset turnover ratio refers to the ratio of sales to the average total assets.

Average total assets:

= (Beginning total assets + Ending total assets) ÷ 2

= ($240,000 + $280,000) ÷ 2

= $260,000

Therefore, the asset turnover ratio is as follows:

= Sales ÷ Average total assets

= $700,000 ÷ $260,000

= 2.69
