Males are easily distinguished from females based on colour differences, with a distinct black patch at the abdomen, less noticeable in recently emerged flies (see fig.), and the sexcombs (a row of dark bristles on the tarsus of the first leg).
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.
So, if your company began the year with $100,000 in assets and ended it with $110,000, your total average assets would be $105,000. If your sales revenue for the year was $500,000, then your asset turnover ratio is: $500,000 divided by $105,000 which equals 4.76. An asset turnover ratio of 4.76 means that every $1 worth of assets generated $4.76 worth of revenue. In general, the higher the ratio -- the more turns -- the better.
