Its return on capital was 14.29% (16,000/112,000) which represents an increase from the 8.11% (6,000/74,000) in 2005.

Activity Ratios 1. Total Assets turnover for SciTronics in 2008 can be calculated by dividing $244,000 (net sales) into $159,000 (total assets). The turnover decreased from 1.58 times in 2005 to 1.53 in 2008.
2. SciTronics had $66,000 in accounts receivables at year end 2008. Its average sales per day were $668.49 ($244,000/365) during 2008 and its average collection period was 98.73 ($66,000/668.49). This represents an improvement from the average collection period of104.29 ($42,000/402.73) days in 2005.
3. SciTronics apparently needed $29,000 (inventories in 2008) of inventory at year end to support its operations during 2008. Its activity during 2008 as measured by the cost of goods sold was $74,000 (COGS). It therefore had an inventory of turnover of 2.55 (74,000/29,000) times. This represents an improvement from 2.04 (43,000/21,000) times in 2005.
