total asset turnover. A financial ratio that indicates the effectiveness with which a firm's management uses its assets to generate sales. A relatively high ratio tends to reflect intensive use of assets. Total asset turnover is calculated by dividing the firm's annual sales by its total assets.

Let's look at an example using the following hypothetical information for Company ABC: Revenue is found on the income statement, and total assets are found on the balance sheet. Using the asset turnover ratio formula and the information above, we can calculate that Company ABC's asset turnover ratio this year was: $1,500,000 / [($975,000 + $1,140,000)/2] = 1.418. #-ad_banner-#This means that for every dollar of Company ABC's assets, Company ABC generated $1.42 in revenue.
