Question

From the following information, determine Opening and Closing inventories:

Inventory Turnover Ratio 5 Times, Total sales ₹ 2,00,000, Gross Profit Ratio 25%. Closing Inventory is more by ₹ 4,000 than the Opening Inventory.

Answer 1

Sales = 2,00,000

Gross Profit = 25% on Sales

Cost of Goods Sold = Total Sales − Gross Profit

= 2,00,000 − 50,000 = 1,50,000

Let Opening Inventory = x

Closing Inventory = x + 4,000

Opening Inventory = x = Rs 28,000

Closing Inventory = x + 4,000 = 28,000 + 4,000 = Rs 32,000
