Calculate the following ratios for both the years and indicate the possible reasons for variation of the ratios of the two years (1) Gross profit ratio (2) Net profit ratio (3) Stock turnover ratio.
The solution of Question 69 Chapter 4 of +2-B: –
| (1) Gross Profit Ratio | = | ₹ 1,28,000 | X | ₹ 2,00,000 |
| ₹ 6,00,000 | ||||
| = | 21.33% |
| (2) Net Profit Ratio | = | ₹ 30,000 | X | 8,00,000 |
| ₹ 6,00,000 | ||||
| = | 5% | |||
| Net Profit | = | Gross Profit – Indirect Expenses | ||
| = | ₹ 2,00,000 – ₹ 40,000 | |||
| = | ₹ 1,60,000 |
| (3) Stock Turnover Ratio | = | Cost of goods sold |
| Average Inventory | ||
| Cost of goods sold | = | Opening Inventory – Closing Inventory + Purchase |
| = | (₹ 8,000) + ₹ 4,80,000 | |
| = | ₹ 4,72,000 | |
| Average Inventory | = | Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory |
| 2 | ||
| = | ₹ 1,25,000 + ₹ 1,33,000 | |
| 2 | ||
| = | ₹ 1,29,000 | |
| Stock Turnover Ratio | = | ₹ 4,72,000 |
| ₹ 1,29,000 | ||
| = | 3.66 Times |
| (1) Gross Profit Ratio | = | ₹ 1,52,000 | X | ₹ 2,00,000 |
| ₹ 7,48,000 | ||||
| = | 20.32% |
| (2) Net Profit Ratio | = | ₹ 34,000 | X | 8,00,000 |
| ₹ 7,48,000 | ||||
| = | 4.54% |
| (3) Stock Turnover Ratio | = | Cost of goods sold |
| Average Inventory | ||
| Cost of goods sold | = | Opening Inventory – Closing Inventory + Purchase |
| = | ₹ 12,000 + ₹ 5,84,000 | |
| = | ₹ 5,96,000 | |
| Average Inventory | = | Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory |
| 2 | ||
| = | ₹ 1,33,000 + ₹ 1,21,000 | |
| 2 | ||
| = | ₹ 1,27,000 | |
| Stock Turnover Ratio | = | ₹ 5,96,000 |
| ₹ 1,27,000 | ||
| = | 4.69 Times |
Reason: Gross Profit Ratio and Net Profit Ratio both are decreased in 2019 from the previous year. This happened due to an increase in the cost of goods sold in 2019 like the percentage of sales and expenses are also increase.
