ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 72 of 100

Total capital turnover indicates how efficiently the company uses its capital to generate sales. It is generally calculated as net sales ÷ total capital or total assets. A higher turnover means that each unit of capital supports a larger amount of revenue, though interpretation should consider the industry and asset requirements.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- (a) operating profit to net sales is an operating-profit margin and measures profitability per unit of sales

- (b) equity to total assets is a capital-structure or financial-stability ratio

- (d) the break-even point ratio indicates the relationship between actual sales and the sales level needed to avoid a loss

Key rule: Turnover ratios measure efficiency of asset or capital utilization; margin ratios measure profit earned from sales.
