Question

Stock Turnover ratio- 6 times; Gross profit- 20% of sales; Sales Rs. 180,000; Closing stock is

Rs. 15,000 in excess of opening stock. Find the value of opening stock and closing stock.​

Answer 1

Answer:

stock turnover ratio = cost of goods ÷ avg stock

cost of goods sold = sales - gross profit

gross profit = 1,80,000 × 20%=36,000

cost of goods = 1,80,000-36,000= 1,44,000

stock turnover ratio =cogs/ avg stock

6 = 1,44,000/avg stock

avg stock = 1,44,000/6

avg stock = 24,000

average stock = opening stock + closing stock ÷ 2

24,000 = X + X+15,000/2

48,000-15,000=2x

X= 33,000/2 = 16,500

Answer 2

Opening stock = 16,500

Closing stock = 31,500

Explanation:

Given:

Opening Stock = a

Closing stock = a + 15,000

Net sales = 1,80,000

Stock turn over ratio = 6 Times

Gross profit rate = 20% (On Sales) = 1,80,000 x 20% = 36,000

Calculation of Cost of goods sold :

Sales = Cost of Goods sold + Gross Profit

1,80,000 = Cost of goods sold + 36,000

1,80,000 = Cost of goods sold + 36,000

1,80,000 - 36,000 = Cost of goods sold

1,44,000 = Cost of goods sold

Stock turn over ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

6 = 1,44,000 / Average inventory

Average inventory = 24,000

Average inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing inventory ) / 2

24,000 = (a + a + 15,000 ) / 2

48,000 = 2a + 15000

a = 15,000

Opening stock = 16,500

Closing stock = 31,500
