The fixed asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency with which a company utilizes its fixed assets to generate sales revenue. It is calculated by dividing net sales revenue by the average value of fixed assets.

To calculate the average value of fixed assets, we add the beginning and ending values of property, plant and equipment and divide the sum by 2. In this case, the average value of property, plant and equipment for 2021 is ($2.6 million + $3.1 million) / 2 = $2.85 million.
