turtle fixed asset turnover ratio is: sales/fixed assets
sales remain the same under both methods.
if local currency appreciates, than fixed assets in USD terms at the end of the period are worth more than at the begining -> number is higher under all current method.
conclusion: fixed assets turnover ratio is lower under all current method, if local currency appreciates.
