Verified by Experts

Inventory Turnover Ratio `=("Cost of Revenue from Operations")/("Average Inventory")`
`8=("Cost of Revenue from Operations")/(Rs.40,000)`
`:.` Cost of Revenue from operations `= 8 xx Rs. 40,000`
= Rs. 3,20,000
Revenue from operations = Cost of Revenue from operations `xx(100 )/(80)`
= Rs. `3,20,000xx (100)/(80)` = 4,00,000
Gross Profit = Revenue from operations – Cost of Revenue from operations
Rs. 4,00,000-Rs. 3,20,000=Rs. 80,000
