Given information:
- Revenue from Operations = ₹4,00,000
- Average Inventory = ₹55,000
- Gross Profit Ratio = 10%
Finding Cost of Revenue from Operations:
Gross Profit Ratio formula: Revenue from OperationsGross Profit×100
Gross Profit = 10010×4,00,000 = ₹40,000
Since Gross Profit = Revenue from Operations - Cost of Revenue from Operations
Cost of Revenue from Operations = 4,00,000 - 40,000 = ₹3,60,000
Calculating Inventory Turnover Ratio:
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Average InventoryCost of Revenue from Operations
= 55,0003,60,000
= 6.55 Times
The Inventory Turnover Ratio uses Cost of Revenue from Operations (not Revenue from Operations) because inventory is valued at cost. Since the Gross Profit Ratio tells us what percentage of sales is profit, we need to remove this profit margin to arrive at the cost figure for proper comparison with inventory.
Correct Option: 3 (6.55 Times)
