    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.
