(i) Stores and Spares
(ii) Provision for Tax
(iii) Computer Software
Ans: Current ratio = 2 : 1 and Current Assets = ₹ 8,00,000
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

Therefore, Current Liabilities = ₹ 4,00,000
Quick Ratio = Quick Assets/Current Liabilities
= 1.5 : 1
Therefore, Quick Assets = ₹ 6,00,000
Inventory = Current Assets – Quick Assets
= ₹ 8,00,000 – ₹ 6,00,000
= ₹ 2,00,000
Inventory Turnover Ratio = 6 times
Cost of Revenue from Operations/ Average Inventory = 6 times
Cost of Revenue from Operations/ ₹ 2,00,000 = 6
∴ Cost of Revenue from Operations = ₹ 12,00,000
Gross Profit is 25% on cost = 25% of ₹ 12,00,000
= ₹ 3,00,000
So, Revenue from Operations = ₹ 12,00,000 + ₹ 3,00,000
= ` 15,00,000
