Having read the French laws regarding the hours of working in a week, I can say that there are many appealing points to me, and I think it is worth discussing how these laws will affect the ratios of a company. The European laws that I have read show that there is a limited number of hours that workers are allowed to have in the week, measuring out at a total of 38 hours (Guerrero & Cabrita, pg 2, 2023), which in comparison to the U.S.'s amounts of 40 (USDL, para. 1, 2008) is not much, but in the grand scheme the hours do add up over time. The best measurement of this would be through ratios that would better show off the differences. The Total Asset Turnover and Fixed Asset Turnover ratios would be the ratios that would be most affected by the labor laws that affect the difference in hours, and in turn, the results of each ratio. The Total Asset Turnover is formulated as: Total Sales / ((Beginning Assets + Ending Assets) / 2) (Hayes, para. 2, 2025).
