  • Financial and Budgetary Management

Any ratio in which sales is the numerator and a balance-sheet item is the denominator. (In the case of inventory turnover ratio, cost of sales may be used in place of sales.) Turnover ratios relating sales to various asset items are intended to be measures of asset management efficiency. However, the purpose of turnover ratios relating sales to various equity items is unclear, so they are seldom used.
