C. 3
D. 4
Correct Answer:
Option B – 2
Explanation
Turnover ratio is the cost of goods sold divided by the average stock for the same period
Cost of goods sold = opening stock + purchases – closing stock
25,120 + 44,880 – 27,840 = 42,160
Average stock = opening stock + closing stock / 2
25,120 + 27,840 = 52960 / 2 = 26,480
Turn over = 42,160 / 26,480 = 1.59 times Approximately 2 times
