Question : A business has Rs.58,400 in inventory, Rs.48,000 in debt, and a 6 times inventory turnover rate. 40% of all sales are made on credit, while the gross profit margin is 20%. How much will the credit sales be?
Option 1: Rs.1,62,500
Option 2: Rs.1,95,400
Option 3: Rs.1,85,200
Option 4: Rs.1,75,000
Correct Answer: Rs.1,75,000
Solution :
Cost of goods sold = 58,400×6= 3,50,400; since the GP ratio is 20% on sales, it is 25% on cost.
Sales = 3,50,000 + 87,500 = 4,37,500
Credit sales= 40% of 4,37,500) =1,75,000.
Hence option 4 is the correct answer.
