Question : Inventory Turnover Ratio of a company is 3 times. State, giving reason, whether the ratio improves, declines or does not change because of an increase in the value of closing stock by RS 5,000.
Option 1: Increase
Option 2: Decrease
Option 3: No change
Option 4: Can't say
Correct Answer: Decrease
Solution : Answer = decrease
The cost of Revenue from the operation will decrease because of the increase in the value of Closing stock, and the Average Inventory will increase due to the increase in Closing Inventory. This is because a higher closing stock value indicates that inventory is not being sold as quickly, resulting in a decrease in inventory turnover and suggesting potential inefficiencies in inventory management.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
