e. It is appropriate to use the fixed assets turnover ratio to appraise firms' effectiveness in managing their fixed assets if and only if all the firms being compared have the same proportion of fixed assets to total assets

Explanation:

Financial statements are used to show the financial activity of a business within a given period.

One of the principles of a accounting is periodicity. This requires businesses to report their financial position at regular intervals consistently, and not in an inconsistent manner. So if a business reports their finances twice a year. At year end and at mid year, it is possible that at mid year due to seasonal sales performance will be high and business is perceived to be highly profitable.

But financial report at end of year in the off-season will show low performance.

So for seasonal businesses there can be apparent view of a business during the year that can change dramatically because of time at which reports are made.
