From the following information obtained from the books of Kundan Ltd., calculate the Inventory Turnover Ratio for the years 2015-16 and 2016-17: In the year 2015-16, inventory increased by Rs. 2,00,000.

Answer»

Solution :Inventory TURNOVER Ratio = `("Cost of Revenue from Operations")/("Average Inventory")`
For 2015-16:
Cost of Revenue from Operation = Revenue from Operation - Gross Profit
Rs. 50,00,000 - Rs. `10,00,000^(*)` = Rs. 40,00,000
Average Inventory = `("Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory")/(2)`
`= (Rs. 5,00,000 + Rs. 7,00,000)/(2)` = Rs. 6,00,000
`therefore`Inventory Turnover Ratio = `(Rs. 40,00,000)/(Rs. 6,00,000)` = 6.67 Times.
`.^(*)`LET the cost = Rs. 100, Gross Profit = Rs. 25
Sales = Cost + Profit = Rs. 100 + Rs. 25 = Rs 125
`therefore` Gross Profit on Sale (Revenue from Operations) = Rs. 25/Rs. 125 or 1/5th of the Sale Gross Profit = Rs. 50,00,000 `xx 1//5` = Rs. 10,00,000.
For 2016-17:
Cost of Revenue from Operation = Revenue from Operation - Gross Profit
= Rs. 75,00,000 - Rs. 15,00,000 (i.e., Rs. 75,00,000 `xx 1//5`)
= Rs. 60,00,000
Average Inventory = `("Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory")/(2)`
`= (Rs. 7,00,000 + Rs. 17,00,000)/(2)` = Rs. 12,00,000
`therefore`Inventory Turnover Ratio = `(Rs. 60,00,000)/(Rs. 12,00,000)` = 5 Times.
