Options:

₹7,20,000

₹9,60,000

₹2,40,000

₹8,40,000

Correct Answer:

₹9,60,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - ₹9,60,000.

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of revenue from operations / Average inventory
                                 6 = Cost of revenue from operations / 120000
Cost of revenue from operations = 6 x 120000
                                                = 720000

Let revenue from operations = a
Gross profit = 25/100 x a
                  = a/4

Revenue from operations = Cost of revenue from operations + Gross profit
                                  a = 720000 + a/4
a - a/4 = 720000
3a/4 = 720000
a = 720000 x 4/3
   = 960000
