Turn the gross profit on cost into the cost of revenue from operations.

Inventory turnover = cost of revenue from operations / average inventory.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Gross profit is 25% of cost, so revenue = cost × 125/100 and cost of revenue from operations = 5,00,000 × 100/125 = ₹ 4,00,000.

  2. Average inventory = 4,00,000 / 5 = ₹ 80,000. Opening + closing = ₹ 1,60,000, so opening = 1,60,000 − 60,000 = ₹ 1,00,000. Option (C).
