A machine that produces hockey pucks costs $20,500 and produces 10 pucks per hour. Two similar companies purchase the machine and begin producing and selling pucks. The first company, Northern Sales is located in International Falls, Minnesota. The second company, Southern Sales is located in Huntsville, Alabama. Northern Sales operates the machine 20 hours per day to meet customer demand. Southern sales operates the machine 10 hours per day to meet customer demand. Sales data for the first month of operations are:
| Northern | Southern | |
| Property, plant, and equipment | $20,500 | $20,500 |
| Accumulated depreciation—Property, plant, and equipment | $500 | $500 |
| Pucks sold | 6,000 pucks | 3,000 pucks |
| Sales | $12,000 | $6,000 |
Required:
Calculate the property, plant, and equipment turnover ratio (sales divided by average PPE) for both Northern Sales and Southern Sales.
