Insignia reported average net fixed assets of $190 billion in 2015 and $146 billion in 2014. Compute the fixed asset turnover ratios for both years. Did the company better utilize its investment in fixed assets to generate revenues in 2015 or 2014?

By what percentage could 2020 sales increase over 2019 sales without the need for an increase in fixed assets?b. Now suppose 2020 sales increase by 25% over 2019 sales.
