To calculate the operating assets, we can use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Operating Assets} = \frac{\text{Net Sales}}{\text{Turnover of Operating Assets}} \][/tex]
Given values:
- Net Sales = [tex]$150,000
- Turnover of Operating Assets = 1.5
Now, substitute these values into the formula:
\[ \text{Operating Assets} = \frac{150,000}{1.5} \]
Perform the division:
\[ \text{Operating Assets} = 100,000 \]
So, the operating assets are $[/tex]100,000. Therefore, the correct answer is:
$100,000.
