Bountiful company had sales of $650,000 and cost of merchandise sold of $200,000 during the year. the total assets balance at the beginning of the year was $175,000 and at the end of the year was $167,000. calculate the ratio of sales to total assets.

Ratio = 3.801

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total assets balance at the beginning of the year was $175,000 and at the end of the year was $167,000.

Average assets for the year =

Sales for the year = 650000 dollars

To calculate the ratio of sales to total assets:

Required ratio =

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
