Inventory Turnover Ratio 5 times; Cost of Revenue from Operations (Cost of Goods Sold) ₹18,90,000. Calculate the Opening Inventory and Closing Inventory if Inventory at the end is 2.5 times more than that at the beginning.
Average Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Inventory Turnover Ratio = 18,90,000 ÷ 5 = ₹3,78,000
Let Opening Inventory = x. Since the closing inventory is 2.5 times MORE than opening (i.e. an additional 2.5x on top of x): Closing Inventory = x + 2.5x = 3.5x.
Average Inventory = (x + 3.5x) ÷ 2
3,78,000 = 4.5x ÷ 2
4.5x = 7,56,000
x = ₹1,68,000 (Opening Inventory)
Closing Inventory = 3.5 × 1,68,000 = ₹5,88,000
