Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  d.  $211,250

Explanation:

The TATO is the ratio of sales to assets:

  TATO = sales/assets

Filling in the desired numbers, we can find the desired level of assets:

  2.4 = 345,000/assets

  assets = 345,000/2.4 = 143,750

Starting with assets of 355,000 the reduction necessary to bring assets down to 143,750 is ...

  $355,000 -143,750 = $211,250 . . . . matches choice D
