The ratio is calculated as turnover divided by net assets. This is a comparative tool to compare same ratio from that of earlier year or years.There may be many causes of declining this ratio among others some are 1) Declining in turn over as compared to previous year. 2) Increase in net assets 3) inability to use net assets efficiently. 4) Additions of fictitious assets.
