Inventory Turnover Ratio will be

Option 1: 6 times

Option 4: None of the above

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8 times 


Solution : Answer = 8 times 

Inventory Turnover

= Sales - G. P

= 3,20,000 - 80,000

= 2,40,000

Average Inventory = $\frac{29000+31000}{2}$

                              = 60,000/2 = 30,000
Hence, the correct option is 3.
