Question:76 

From the following Information, calculate Inventory Turnover Ratio: 

Credit Revenue from Operations  3,00,000; Cash Revenue from Operations  1,00,000, Gross Profit 25% of Cost, Closing Inventory was 3 times the Opening Inventory. Opening Inventory was 10% of Cost of Revenue from Operations. 

Solution: 

Average Inventory = (30,000+90,000)/2 = Rs 60,000 

Opening Inventory = 3,00,000 × 10% = Rs 30,000 

Closing Inventory = 30,000 × 3 = Rs 90,000 

Cost of Revenue from Operations = Revenue from Operations - Gross Profit  

= 4,00,000-1,00,000 = Rs 3,00,000

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations/Average Inventory

= 3,00,000/60,000 = 5 times


Question:77 

Calculate Inventory Turnover Ratio in each of the following alternative cases: 

Case 1: Cash Sales 25% of Credit Sales; Credit Sales 3,00,000; Gross Profit 20% on Revenue from Operations, i.e., Net Sales; Closing Inventory 1,60,000; Opening Inventory 40,000. 

Case 2: Cash Sales 20% of Total Sales; Credit Sales 4,50,000; Gross Profit 25% on Cost; Opening Inventory 37,500; Closing Inventory 1,12,500. 

Solution:

Case 1 

Credit Sales = 3,00,000 

Cash sales = 25% of Credit Sales 

Cash sales  = 3,00,000 x 25/100 = 75,000

Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales = 3,00,000 + 75,000 = 3,75,000 

Gross Profit = 20% on Sales 

Gross Profit = 3,75,000 x 20/100 = 75,000

Cost of Goods Sold = Total Sales − Gross Profit = 3,75,000 − 75,000 = 3,00,000

Average Stock = (Opening Stock + Closing Stock)/2 

= (40,000 + 1,60,000)/2 = Rs 1,00,000

Inventory Turnover ratio = Costs of Goods sold/Average Inventory = 3,00,000/1,00,000 = 3 times
Case 2

Cash sales = Total sales*20/100

Cash sales = x*20/100

Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales 

x = 20x/100 + 4,50,000

x - 20x/100 = 4,50,000

x = 5,62,000

Let cost of good sold = a

Gross profit = a*25/100 = 25a/100

Gross Profit = Sales − Cost of Goods Sold

25a/100 = 5,62,000 - a

a = 4,50,000

Cost of good solds = a = 4,50,000

 Average Stock = (Opening Stock + Closing Stock)/2 

= (37,500 + 1,12,500)/2 = Rs 75,000

Stock Turnover Ratio = Costs of Goods sold/Average Stock = 4,50,000/75,000 = 6 times


Question:78 

From the following Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31st March, 2019 of Rex Ltd., calculate Inventory Turnover Ratio:
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
Solution:
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Inventory Purchases + Direct Expenses – Closing Inventory  = Rs 1,25,000 + Rs 3,00,000 + Rs 15,000 – Rs 75,000 = Rs 3,65,000
Average Stock = (Opening Stock + Closing Stock)/2 

= (1,25,000 + 75,000)/2 = Rs 1,00,000

Inventory Turnover ratio = Costs of Goods sold/Average Inventory = 3,65,000/1,00,000 = 3.65 times

Question:79

Question:80 

Calculate Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio from the following information:
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

Total Sales  1,00,000; Sales Return  1,500; Cash Sales  23,500.

Solution: 

Net Credit Sales = Total Sales − Sales Return − Cash Sales 

= 1,00,000 − 1,500 − 23,500 = 75,000
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

Question:81 

Closing Trade Receivables  1,00,000; Cash Sales being 25% of Credit Sales; Excess of Closing Trade Receivables over Opening Trade Receivables  40,000; Revenue from Operations, i.e., Net Sales  6,00,000. Calculate Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio. 

Solution:  

Let Credit Sales be = x 

Cash sales  = x * 25/100 = 25x/100

Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales
6,00,000 = 25x/100 + x
x = 4,80,000
Credit Sales = 4,80,000 

Closing Trade Receivables = Opening Trade Receivables + 40,000 

1,00,000 = Opening Trade Receivables + 40,000 

Opening Trade Receivables = Rs 60,000

Question:83
1,75,000 is the Credit Revenue from Operations, i.e., Net Credit Sales of an enterprise. If Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio is 8 times, calculate Trade Receivables in the Beginning and at the end of the year. Trade Receivables at the end is  7,000 more than that in the beginning.
Solution:
Total Receivables turnover ratio = Net Credit Sales/Average trade receivables
8 = 1,75,000/Average trade receivables
Average trade receivables = Rs. 21,875
Let Opening Trade Receivables = x 
Close Trade Receivables = x + 7,000
Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2
21,875 = (x + x + 7,000)/2
x = Rs 13,875
∴ Opening Trade Receivables = x = 18,375 

Closing Trade Receivables = x +7,000 = 25,375 

Question:84 

From the following particulars, determine Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio:
Revenue from Operations Net Sales - 10,00,000 

Credit Revenue from Operations Credit Sales - 8,00,000 

Trade Receivables - 1,00,000
Solution:
Credit Sales = 8,00,000 

Average Debtors = 1,00,000
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales/Average trade Receivables
= 8,00,000 /1,00,000 = 8 times

Question:85 

Closing Trade Receivables  1,20,000, Revenue from Operations  14,40,000. Provision for Doubtful Debts  20,000. Calculate Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio. 
Solution:
 

Closing Trade Receivables =  1,20,000 

Revenue from Operations =  14,40,000 

Since, opening trade receivables have not been given we assume closing trade receivables to be our average trade receivables. Also, the revenue from operations will be assumed to be revenue from net credit sales. 

Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Credit Revenue from Operations/Average Credit receivables 

 = 14,40,000/1,20,000 = 12 times 

Therefore, this higher ratio indicates the rate at which the firm is able to collect its debt efficiently. 

Question:86 

Closing Trade Receivables  4,00,000; Cash Sales being 25% of Credit Sales; Excess of Closing Trade Receivables over Opening Trade Receivables  2,00,000; Revenue from Operations, i.e., Revenue from Operations, i.e., Net Sales  15,00,000. Calculate Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio 

[Hint: 1. Net Credit Sales = Total Sales − Cash Sales 

          2. Opening Trade Receivables = Closing Trade Receivables − Excess of Closing Trade Receivables over Opening Trade Receivables.] 
Solution: 

Let Credit Sales be = x 
Cash sales = 25% of credit sales
Cash sales = 25x/100
Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales
15,00,000 = 25x/100 + x
x = 12,00,000
Opening Trade Receivables = Closing Trade Receivables − 2,00,000 

= 4,00,000 − 2,00,000 = 2,00,000 
Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2
= (2,00,000 + 4,00,000)/2 = Rs. 3,00,000
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales/Average Trade Receivables 
= 12,00,000/3,00,000 = 4 times

Question:87
A firm normally has trade Receivables equal to two months' credit Sales. During the coming year it expects Credit Sales of  7,20,000 spread evenly over the year 12months . What is the estimated amount of Trade Receivables at the end of the year? 
Solution: 
Debt Collection Period = 12 Months/Debtors’ Turnover ratio
2 = 12/Debtors’ Turnover ratio
Debtors’ Turnover ratio = 6 times
Debtors Turnover Ratio  = Credit sales/Debtors at the end
6 = 7,20,000/Debtors at the end
Debtors at the end = Rs. 1,20,000

Question:88 

A limited company made Credit Sales of  4,00,000 during the financial period. If the collection period is 36 days and year is assumed to be 360 days, calculate: 
i. Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio; 

Ii. Average Trade Receivables; 

Iii. Trade Receivables at the end when Trade Receivables at the end are more than that in the beginning by  6,000. 

Solution: 

Total Sales = Cost of Goods Sold + Gross Profit 

= 3,50,000 + 1,50,000 = 5,00,000 

Credit Sales = Total Sales − Cash Sales 

= 5,00,000 − 2,00,000 = 3,00,000 
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Credit Sales/Average Trade Receivables
3 = 3,00,000/Average Trade Receivables
Average Trade Receivables = Rs. 1,00,000
Case 1:
Let Opening Trade Receivables = x 

Closing Trade Receivables = x + 1,00,000
Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2
1,00,000 = (x + x + 1,00,000)/2
x = 50,000
∴ Opening Trade Receivables = x = 50,000

Closing Trade Receivables = 3x = 1,50,000
Case 2:
Let Opening Trade Receivables = x 

Closing Trade Receivables = 3x 

Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2
1,00,000 = (x + 3x)/2
x = 50,000
∴ Opening Trade Receivables = x = 50,000

Closing Trade Receivables = 3x = 1,50,000
Case 3:
Let Opening Trade Receivables = x 

Closing Trade Receivables = x + 3x 

Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2
1,00,000 = (x + 4x)/2
x = 40,000
∴ Opening Trade Receivables = x = 40,000

Closing Trade Receivables = 4x = 1,60,000

Question:89 

Cash Revenue from Operations Cash Sales 

  2,00,000, Cost of Revenue from Operations or Cost of Goods Solds  3,50,000; Gross Profit  1,50,000; Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio 3 Times. Calculate Opening and Closing Trade Receivables in each of the following alternative cases; 

Case 1 : If Closing Trade Receivables were  1,00,000 in excess of Opening Trade Receivables. 
Case 2 : If trade Receivables at the end were 3 times than in the beginning. 
Case 3 ; If Trade Receivables at the end were 3 times more than that of in the beginning. 
Solution:
(i) Debt collection Period = 360/Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio
36 = 360/Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = 10 times
(ii) Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit sales/Average Trade Receivables
10 = 4,00,000/Average Trade Receivables
Average Trade Receivables =Rs. 40,000
(iii) Let the opening Trade receivables be x
Therefore, closing trade receivables = x + 6,000
Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2
40,000 = (x + x + 6000)/2
x = 37,000
∴ Opening Trade Receivables = x = 37,000

Closing Trade Receivables = x + 6000 = 43,000

Question:90 

From the following information, calculate Opening and Closing Trade Receivables, if Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio is 3 Times: 
i. Cash Revenue from Operations is 1/3rd of Credit Revenue from Operations. 

Ii. Cost of Revenue from Operations is 3,00,000. 

Iii. Gross Profit is 25% of the Revenue from Operations. 

Iv. Trade Receivables at the end are 3 Times more than that of in the beginning.  

Solution:
Trade receivables Turnover Ratio = Credit Revenue from Operations/Average Trade Receivables
3 = 3,00,000/Average Trade Receivables
Average Trade Receivables = Rs. 1,00,000
Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2
1,00,000 = (x + 4x)/2
x = 40,000
∴ Opening Trade Receivables = x = 40,000

Closing Trade Receivables = 4x = 1,60,000
Revenue from operations = 3,00,000 + (25/75)*3,00,000  = Rs 4,00,000 
Credit Revenue from Operations = Total Revenue from Operations − Cash Revenue from Operations 
x = 4,00,000 - (1/3)x
Credit Revenue from Operations = Rs 3,00,000

Question:91 

Calculate Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio in each of the following alternative cases: 

Case 1: Net Credit Sales 4,00,000; Average Trade Receivables 1,00,000. 

Case 2: Revenue from Operations NetSales 30,00,000; Cash Revenue from Operations, i.e., Cash Sales 6,00,000; Opening Trade Receivables 2,00,000; Closing Trade Receivables 6,00,000. 
Case 3: Cost of Revenue from Operations or Cost of Goods Sold 3,00,000; Gross Profit on Cost 25%; Cash Sales 20% of Total Sales; Opening Trade Receivables 50,000; Closing Trade Receivables 1,00,000. 
Case 4: Cost of Revenue from Operations or Cost of Goods Sold 4,50,000; Gross Profit on Sales 20%; Cash Sales 25% of Net Credit Sales, Opening Trade Receivables 90,000; Closing Trade Receivables 60,000.

Solution:
Case 1:
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit sales/Average Trade Receivables
= 4,00,000/1,00,000 = 4 times
Case 2:
Net credit sales = Total sales - Cash Sales 
= 30,00,000 - 6,00,000 = 24,00,000
Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2
= (2,00,000 + 6,00,000)/2 = 4,00,000
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit sales/Average Trade Receivables
= 24,00,000/4,00,000 = 6 times
Case 3:
Cost of Goods Sold = 3,00,000 

Gross Profit = 25% on Cost
Gross profit = 25/100 * 3,00,000 = 75,000
Total Sales = Cost of Goods Sold + Gross Profit 

= 3,00,000 + 75,000 = 3,75,000
Cash Sales = 20% of Total Sales 
Cash sales =  3,75,000*20/100 = 75,000
Credit Sales = Total Sales − Cash Sales 

= 3,75,000 − 75,000 = 3,00,000
Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2

= (50,000 + 1,00,000)/2 = 75,000

Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit sales/Average Trade Receivables

= 3,00,000/75,000 = 4 times
Case 4:
Let Sales be = x 
Gross profit = x*20/100 = 20x/100
Sales = Cost of Goods Sold + Gross profit
x = 4,50,000 + 20x/100
Sales = x = Rs 5,62,000
Let credit sales be = a
Cash sales = a*25/100 = 25a/100
Sales = Cash sales + Credit sales
5,62,000 = 25a/100 + a
a = 4,50,000
Credit sales = a = 4,50,000
Average Trade Receivables = (Open Trade Receivables + Closing Trade Receivables)/2

= (90,000 + 60,000)/2 = 75,000

Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit sales/Average Trade Receivables

= 4,50,000/75,000 = 6 times

Question:92 

From the information given below, calculate Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio: 

Credit Revenue from Operations, i.e., Credit Sales 8,00,000; Opening Trade Receivables 1,20,000; and Closing Trade Receivables 2,00,000. 

State giving reason, which of the following would increase, decrease or not change Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio: 

i. Collection from Trade Receivables 40,000. 

ii. Credit Revenue from Operations, i.e., Credit Sales 80,000. 

iii. Sales Return 20,000. 

iv. Credit Purchase 1,60,000. 
Solution:
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
i. Collection from Trade Receivables Rs 40,000- Increase

Reason: Collection from Trade Receivables will result in decrease in the amount of closing Trade Receivables which will reduce the amount of average Trade Receivables. 

Closing Trade Receivables = 2,00,000 − 40,000 = Rs 1,60,000 
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
ii. Credit Revenue from Operations, i.e. Sales Rs 80,000- Decrease 

Reason: This transaction will result in increase in both credit sales as well as closing Trade Receivables. Increase in closing Trade Receivables, in turn, will lead to an increase in the average Trade Receivables. 

Credit Sales = 8,00,000 + 80,000 = Rs 8,80,000 

Closing Trade Receivables = 2,00,000 + 80,000 = Rs 2,80,000
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
iii. Sales Return Rs 20,000- Increase 

Reason: This transaction will result in decrease in both sales and average Trade Receivables. Credit Sales = 8,00,000 − 20,000= Rs 7,80,000 

Closing Trade Receivables = 2,00,000 − 20,000 = Rs 1,80,000
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
iv. Credit Purchase Rs 1,60,000- No Change

Reason: Credit Purchase does not affect the Debtors Turnover Ratio. 

Question:93

Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce
= (1,50,000 + 50,000 + 4,50,000 + 1,50,000)/2
= Rs 4,00,000
Net Credit Purchases = Total Purchase - Purchase 
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce16,00,000/4,00,000 = 4 times
Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce= 12/4 = 3 months

Question:94

Calculate Trade payables Turnover Ratio from the following information: 

Opening Creditors  1,25,000; Opening Bills Payable  10,000; Closing Creditors  90,000; Closing bills Payable  5,000; Purchases  9,50,000; Cash Purchases  1,00,000; Purchases Return  45,000.
Solution:

Net Credit Purchases = Purchases – Cash Purchases – Purchase Return 

 = Rs 9,50,000 – Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 45,000 = Rs 8,05,000 
Average trade payables = (1,25,000 + 10,000 + 90,000 + 5,000)/2 = Rs 1,15,000
Trade payables Turnover Ratio = 8,05,000/1,15,000 = 7 times

including 25, 000duetoasupplierofmachinery  55,000; Net Credit Purchases  3,60,000. 

Solution:
Case 1:
Net Credit Purchases = Net Purchases − Cash Purchases 

= 3,60,000 − 90,000 = 2,70,000 
Trade Payables Turnover ratio = Net CreditPurchases/Closing Trade Payables = 2,70,000/45,000 = 6 times
Case 2 
Net Purchases = 3,60,000

Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce = 3,60,000/30,000 = 12 times
Case 3
Trade Payables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Purchases/Closing Trade Payables = 3,60,000/45,000 = 8 times

Case 4
Net Credit Payables for Goods = Trade Payables − Creditors for Machinery = 55,000 − 25,000 = 30,000
Trade Payables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Purchases/Closing Trade Payables = 3,60,000/30,000 = 12 times

Question:96

Accounting Ratios (Part-4) | Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

Question:98 
Equity Share Capital  15,00,000; Gross Profit on Revenue from Operations, i.e., Net Sales 33 1/3%
Cost Revenue from Operations or Cost of Goods Sold  20,00,000; Current Assets  10,00,000; Current Liabilities  2,50,000. Calculate Working Capital Turnover Ratio. 
Solution: 

Net Sales = Cost of Goods sold + Gross Profit 
Net sales = 20,00,000 + ⅓ of net sales 

Let Net Sales = x

x = 20,00,000 + x/3
Net sales (x) = 60,00,000/2 = Rs 30,00,000

Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities 

= 10,00,000 - 2,50,000 = 7,50,000 
Working capital Turnover ratio = Net Sales/Working Capital 

= 30,00,000/7,50,000 = 4 times

FAQs on Accounting Ratios (Part-4) - Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

1. What are accounting ratios and why are they important in commerce?
Ans. Accounting ratios are quantitative indicators that help assess the financial performance and position of a company. They are calculated by analyzing various financial statements, such as the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. These ratios provide valuable insights into a company's profitability, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. They are important in commerce as they help investors, creditors, and other stakeholders make informed decisions about investing, lending, or partnering with a company.
2. How do you calculate the current ratio and what does it indicate about a company's liquidity?
Ans. The current ratio is calculated by dividing a company's current assets by its current liabilities. It measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations using its short-term assets. A higher current ratio indicates better liquidity as it suggests that the company has enough current assets to cover its current liabilities. Conversely, a lower current ratio may indicate liquidity issues and difficulties in meeting short-term obligations.
3. What is the significance of the debt-to-equity ratio in analyzing a company's financial health?
Ans. The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated by dividing a company's total debt by its total equity. It measures the proportion of a company's financing that comes from debt as compared to equity. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates that the company relies more on debt to finance its operations, which may increase its financial risk. On the other hand, a lower debt-to-equity ratio suggests a lower risk and a more stable financial position.
4. How is the return on equity (ROE) ratio calculated, and what does it indicate about a company's profitability?
Ans. The return on equity (ROE) ratio is calculated by dividing a company's net income by its average shareholders' equity. It measures the profitability of a company's investments from the perspective of its shareholders. A higher ROE ratio indicates that the company is generating more profit per unit of shareholders' equity, which implies better profitability. On the contrary, a lower ROE ratio may indicate lower profitability and inefficiency in utilizing shareholders' equity.
5. How can the inventory turnover ratio help assess a company's efficiency?
Ans. The inventory turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory. It measures how efficiently a company manages its inventory and converts it into sales. A higher inventory turnover ratio suggests that a company is effectively managing its inventory and quickly selling its products. It indicates good efficiency and effective utilization of resources. Conversely, a lower inventory turnover ratio may indicate inefficiency, excess inventory, or slow sales, which can negatively impact a company's profitability.
