Fixed asset turnover is the ratio of
sales (on your Profit and loss account) to the value of your
fixed assets (on your balance sheet). It indicates how well your business is using its fixed assets to generate sales.Generally speaking, the higher the ratio, the better, because a high ratio indicates your business has less money tied up in fixed assets for each dollar of sales
revenue. A declining ratio may indicate that you've over-invested in plant,
equipment, or other fixed assets.
