Question:

Calculate the closing inventory if the closing inventory was ₹80,000 in excess of the opening inventory and cost of revenue from operations is ₹5,00,000 and the inventory turnover ratio is 5 times.

Options:

₹40,000

₹80,000

₹1,40,000

₹1,20,000

Correct Answer:

₹1,40,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹1,40,000.

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations / Average Inventory
5 = 5,00,000/ average inventory
Average inventory = ₹1,00,000

The closing inventory was ₹80,000 in excess of the opening inventory.
Let opening inventory = x
Closing inventory = x + 80,000
Average inventory = (Opening inventory + Closing inventory)/2
                              = ( x + x + 80,000)/2
                              = x + 40,000
1,00,000 = x + 40,000
x = 60,000

Closing inventory = 60,000 + 80,000
                            = ₹1,40,000
