a.

Explanation of Solution
Fixed Asset turnover: It is a ratio that measures the productive capacity of the fixed assets to generate the sales revenue for the company. Thus, it shows the relationship between the net sales and the average total fixed assets. The following is the formula to calculate the ratio:
Calculate the fixed asset turnover ratio:
For Year 1
Sales= $4,880,000
Total average fixed assets= $1,525,000 (1)
Working note 1: Calculate the average total fixed assets.
Beginning total fixed assets = $1,450,000
Ending total fixed assets = $1,600,000
For Year 2
Sales= $5,510,000
Total average fixed assets= $1,900,000 (2)
Working note 2: Calculate the average total fixed assets.
Beginning total fixed assets = $1,600,000
Ending total fixed assets = $2,200,000
Hence, the fixed asset turnover ratio for Year 1 is 3.2 times and for Year 2 is 2.9 times.
