SOLUTION
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases + Closing Stock
= 40,000 + 3,20,000 − 1,20,000
= 2,40,000
| Average Stock | = Opening Stock + Closing Stock / 2 |
| =40,000+1,20,000 / 2 =80,000 | |
| Stock turnover ratio | = Cost of Goods sold / Average Stock |
| = 2,40,000 / 80,000 = 3 Times |
