    The ending total assets of Landers: C) 14,066,666

    Explanation:

    Asset turnover ratio is calculated by using following formula:

    Asset Turnover ratio = Total Net Sales or Revenue / Average Total Assets

    Average Total Assets = Total Net Sales or Revenue/Asset Turnover ratio

    In where:

    Average Total Assets = (Beginning Total Assets + Ending Total Assets) / 2

    During 2018, Landers Corp. had net sales of $17,000,000 and the asset turnover ratio was 1.5 times.

    Average Total Assets = $17,000,000/1.5 = $11,333,333.33

    Ending Total Assets = Average Total Assets x 2 - Beginning Total Assets = $11,333,333.33 x 2 - $8,600,000 = $14,066,666
