Question:

Calculate the Trade Payables Turnover Ratio from the following information-

Total Purchases Rs 4,50,000
Cash Purchases Rs 1,50,000
Creditors Rs 50,000
Bills Payable Rs 10,000

Options:

7.5 times

10 times

9 times

5 times

Correct Answer:

5 times

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- 5 times.

Credit Purchases = Total Purchases-Cash Purchases
                         = 4,50,000-1,50,000
                         = 3,00,000

In order to calculate average Trade Payables as the figures of creditors and bills payables in the beginning of the year are not available. So when one figure is available, use the same as it is.

Average Trade Payable = Creditors + Bills Payable
                                  = 50,000 + 10,000
                                  = 60,000

Trade Payables Turnover ratio = Net Credit purchases/ Average trade payable
                                            = 3,00,000/60,000
                                            = 5 times
