SOLUTIONS
TO FP-01; ACCOUNTING RATIOS
1. ON STOCK TUROVER RATIO:

A trader carries an average stock of Rs 75000. His stock turnover ratio is 12 times. Find out his profit, if
he sells at a profit of 20% on sales. (ANSWER: profit = 225000)

Answer:
Stock turnover ratio = COGS / average stock
COGS= stock turnover ratio * average stock = 12 * 75000 = 900,000
Profit = 20% on turnover or 25% of COGS = 25% of 900,000 = 225000

2. ON STOCK TURNOVER RATIO AND QUICK RATIO/ CURRENT ASSETS:

Calculate current assets of a company from the following information:
Stock turnover ratio= 4 times
Stock in the end is Rs 20000 more than stock in the beginning
Sales = Rs 300000
Gross profit ratio 25%
Current liabilities = Rs 40000
Quick ratio 0.75
(ANSWER: current assets = 96250)

Answer:
Quick ratio = quick assets / current liabilities
0.75 = quick assets/ 40,000
Quick assets = 30,000
Current assets = quick assets + inventory
Stock turnover ratio = COGS/ inventory
4 = 225000 / x + 10,000
x + 10000 = 56250
x = 46250 (opening stock)
closing stock = 46250 + 20,000 = 66250

current assets = quick assets + inventory (always closing is taken because closing stock is present at the
end of the accounting period) = 30,000 + 66250 = 96250

3. Calculate Gross profit ratio, current ratio and debt-equity ratio from the following information:
Net sales = 30,000
Cost of sales= 20,000
Net profit= 3000
Current assets= 6000
Current liabilities= 2000
Paid up share capital= 5000
Debentures= 2500 (Answer: gross profit ratio= 33.33%; current ratio = 3:1; debt equity ratio= 5:16)

Answer:
GP ratio = gross profit *100/ net sales
Gross profit = net sales COGS = 30000 20,000 = 10,000
GP ratio = 10,000 *100/ 30000 = 33.33%

Current ratio = current assets/ current liabilities = 6000/2000 = 3:1

Debt-equity ratio = debentures (long term debt) / share capital + profit = 2500/ 5000 +3000 = 5:16

4. ON LIQUIDITY RATIOS:
The current assets of a company are Rs 900000. Its current ratio is 3 and liquid ratio is 1.20
Calculate the current liabilities, liquid assets and inventory (Answer: current liability= 300000, liquid
assets= 360000; inventory= 540,000)

Answer:

Current liability = current assets / current ratio = 900000/ 3 = 300,000
Liquid assets = current assets inventory / current liability
1.2 = liquid assets / 300,000
liquid assets = 3,60,000

Inventory= current assets liquid assets = 900,000 360,000 = 540,000

5. ON DEBT EQUITY RATIO AND WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO:
Loan is 87000
8% debentures= 125000
Equity share capital= 375000
Cost of goods sold= 395600
Current assets= 399000
Current liability= 237000
Calculate debt equity ratio and working capital turnover ratio (ANSWER: Debt equity= .57:1; working
capital T R= 2.44 times)

Answer:
Debt equity ratio = debt (long term)/ equity
Long term debt = debentures + loan = 125000 + 87000 = 212000
Equity = equity share capital = 375000
Debt equity ratio = 212000/ 375000 = 0.57:1

Working capital turnover ratio = COGS/ working capital (CA- CL)
395600/ (399000- 237000) = 2.44 times

6. Calculate quick ratio and stock turnover ratio from the following:

(Answer: quick ratio = 0.39:1; stock turnover ratio= 3.09 times)

Answer:
Quick ratio = current assets inventory / current liability
Current assets = stock + debtors + cash
Quick assets = stock + debtors + cash stock = 21000 + 30,000 = 51000
Current liability = creditors + outstanding expenses = 115000 + 15000 = 130000
Quick ratio = 51000/ 130,000 = 0.39:1

Stock turnover ratio = COGS/ average stock
COGS = sales gross profit = 800,000 340,000 = 460,000
Average stock = opening + closing / 2 = 99000 + 199000 /2 = 149000
ST ratio = 460000/ 149000 = 3.09 times

7. Calculate return on capital employed (ROCE) from the following Information:


Liabilities Rs Assets Rs
Share capital 20,00,000 Fixed assets 29,00,000
Reserves 500,000 Current assets 2500,000
10% loan 10,00,000 Underwriting 100,000
commission
Current liability 15,00,000
Profit 500,000

(Answer: 15.38%)

Answer:

ROCE = profit before interest *100/ capital employed

Profit before interest = profit after interest + interest = 500000 + 100000 = 600000
Capital employed = fixed assets + net working capital = 2900000 + (2500000 1500000) = 3900000
OR
Capital employed = share capital + reserves + loan + profit fictitious expenses = 3900000

ROCE = 600000 *100 / 39,00,000 = 15.38%

Total assets of a company are Rs. 1,25,000. Total debt of the company is Rs. 100,000 and current
liabilities are Rs. 50,000. Find out debt to equity ratio.
(Answer: 2:1. Hint- shareholders funds = total assets total debt)
Answer:
Long term debt = total debt current liability = 50,000
Since assets = liabilities in balance sheet, total assets = 125000 should be equal to total liability
Total liability = total debt + shareholders funds
Therefore, 125000 = 100000 + shareholders funds
Shareholders funds = 25000
Debt to equity ratio = 50,000/25000 = 2:1
Equity share capital of a company is Rs. 2,00,000. Current liabilities are Rs. 1,00,000. Preliminary

Carriage inwards (direct expense) 2000
Salaries 25000
Wages 5000
Ratio of cash sales and credit sales 1:3
Compute gross profit ratio for the above.
What is GP ratio if sales are Rs 600,000 and Gross profit is 25% on cost.
(Answer: 10%; 20%; HINT- use techniques learnt in Quantitative Aptitude in Profit and loss)
Answer:
Gross profit ratio = gross profit *100/ net sales
Gross profit = Gross profit is calculated by reducing operating/ factory expenses from sales
Here, operating expenses/ cost of sales are = purchases return outwards + opening stock closing
stock + direct expenses
= 75000 2000 + 10000 (decrease in stock = opening stock closing stock) + 2000 (carriage inward) +
wages (salaries are indirect but wages are direct)
= 90000
Sales = cash sales + credit sales = 100000


Gross profit = 100000- 90000 = 10,000
Gross profit ratio = 10,000/ 100,000 *100 = 10%
When sales are 600,000 and GP ratio is 25% on cost, it means that GP ratio is 20% on sales
Since formula for GP ratio = GP *100/net sales;
Gross profit on sales = 20%
31. GROSS PROFIT RATIO:
Cash sales are 25% of total sales, purchases are Rs.690,000, credit sales are Rs. 600,000; excess of
closing stock over opening stock is Rs 50,000. Calculate gross profit ratio.
(Answer: 20%)
Answer:
Credit sales = 75% of total sales = 600000
Total sales = 800000
Direct expenses + cost on sales = purchases + (-increase in stock) = 690000 50000 = 640000
Gross profit = 800000 640000 = 160000
Gross profit ratio = 160,000 *100/ 800000 = 20%
33. GROSS PROFIT RATIO: (THIS QUESTION REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING OF INVENTORY TURNOVER
RATIO)
Average stock Rs. 1,60,000. Stock turnover ratio is 8 times. Average debtors are Rs. 200,000. Debtors

on these borrowings is Rs. 40,000. Profit after interest on borrowings but before dividend is Rs.

200,000. Current liabilities stand at Rs. 8,20,000. On the assets side, fixed assets are for Rs. 8,80,000.
Non current investments stand at Rs. 2,50,000. Current assets are valued at Rs. 9,40,000. Find out
return on capital employed for the company.
(Answer: 24%)
Answer:
Profit before interest (EBIT) = 200000 + 40000 = 240,000
Capital employed = fixed assets + current assets current liability = 880,000 + 940000 820,000 =
10,00,000
ROCE = 2,40,000 *100/ 10,00,000 = 24%
40. RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED:
Equity share capital of a company is Rs. 50,000. 10% preference share capital stands at Rs. 50,000.
Reserves and surplus are for Rs. 100,000. Current liabilities are Rs. 1,70,000. 12% debentures are
issued for Rs. 400,000. Current assets are for Rs. 2,20,000. Net profit for the company after interest
and tax is Rs. 1,20,000. Tax paid for the year of Rs. 1,20,000. Find out return on capital employed for
the company.
(Answer: 48%)
Answer:
EBIT = profit after interest and tax + tax + interest = 120,000 + 120,000 + 48000 = 288000
Capital employed = equity share capital + reserves + preference share capital + long term loans =
50,000 + 50,000 + 100,000 + 400,000 = 600000
ROCE = 288000 *100/ 600000 = 48%
41. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO: (IMP)
Sales of a company stand at Rs. 200,000. Direct expenses are Rs. 10,000 and Indirect expenses are Rs.
20,000. Profit before tax but after direct and indirect expenses is Rs. 30,000. Opening stock stood at Rs.
40,000 and closing stock stands at Rs. 20,000. Find out inventory turnover ratio.
(Answer: 5 times)

Answer:
Stock turnover ratio = COGS/ average inventory
Average inventory = 40000 + 20000/ 2 = 30,000
COGS = sales gross profit
Gross profit = PBT + indirect expenses = 30,000 + 20,000
(Gross profit is found out after reducing direct expenses from sales)
COGS = 200,000 50,000 = 1,50,000
Stock turnover ratio = 150,000 / 30,000 = 5 times
42. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO:
Cost of goods sold is given as Rs. 300,000. Purchases made in the year are Rs. 3,30,000 and Opening
stock is given as Rs. 60,000. Find out inventory turnover ratio
(Answer: 4 times)
Answer:
COGS = 300,000
Opening stock = 60,000
Closing stock = Opening stock + purchases made COGS = 90,000
Average inventory = 60,000 + 90,000 / 2 = 75000
Stock turnover ratio = 300,000/ 75000 = 4 times
Opening stock 29000

Purchases 2,42,000
Sales 3,20,000
Gross profit on sales 25%
Calculate inventory turnover ratio
(Answer: 8 times)
Answer:
COGS = sales GP = 320,000 25% on 320,000 = 240,000
Closing stock = opening stock + purchase COGS = 29000 + 242000 240000 = 31000
Average stock = 60,000/ 2 = 30,000
Stock turnover ratio = 240,000/ 30,000 = 8 times
Opening stock is given as Rs. 20,000 and closing stock is given as Rs. 40,000. Sales are given as Rs.
300,000. Gross Profit on cost is 25%. Calculate inventory turnover ratio.
(Answer: 8 times; hint- use technique learnt in profit and loss to measure gross profit on sales)
Answer:
COGS = sales GP = 300,000 (25% on cost or 20% on sales = 60,000) = 240,000
Average stock = opening + closing/ 2 = 30,000
Stock turnover ratio = 240,000/ 30,000 = 8 times
45. DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO:


Calculate opening and closing debtors from the following information:
Debtors turnover ratio is given as 4 times
Cost of goods sold is Rs. 6,40,000
Gross profit is given as Rs. 1,60,000
Closing debtors are Rs. 20,000 more than in the beginning
Cash sales are 33.33% of credit sales.
(Answer: opening debtors = 1,40,000; closing debtors = 1,60,000)
Answer:
Debtor turnover ratio = net credit sale/ average debtors
Total sale = COGS + gross profit = 800,000
Let credit sale be X, cash sale will be X/3
X + X/3 = 800,000
X = 800,000 *3/4 = 600,000
4 = 600,000/ average debtor
Average debtor = 150,000
Now, let opening debtor be Y. closing debtor will be Y + 20,000
Y + Y + 20,000 = 150000 *2
2Y = 280,000
Y = 140,000
Closing debtor = 160,000
46. CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO:
Total purchases = Rs. 850,000

Cash purchases = Rs. 80,000
Purchase return= Rs. 40,000
Creditors at the end of the year = Rs. 1,20,000
Bills payable at the end of the year = Rs. 20,000
Provisions for discount on creditors = Rs. 10,000
(Answer: 5.21 times)
Answer:
Creditors turnover ratio = net credit purchase/ average creditors
Credit purchase = total purchase cash purchase purchase return = 730,000
Average creditor = creditor at the end + BP at the end = 140,000
(when beginning creditor is not given, the end creditor is assumed to be average)
Creditors turnover ratio = 730,000/ 140,000 = 5.21 times
47. WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO:
Current assets are Rs. 9,00,000. Current liabilities are Rs. 3,00,000. Total sales Rs. 30,50,000. Sales
return are Rs. 50,000.
(Answer: 5 times)
Answer:
WC turnover ratio = net sales/ working capital
Net sales = sales sales return = 30,00,000
Working capital = current assets current liability = 600,000
WC TR = 30,00,000/ 600,000 = 5 times

Working capital is given as Rs. 250,000. Cost of goods sold is Rs. 10,00,000 and gross profit on sales is
20%. Calculate working capital turnover ratio.
(Answer: 5 times)
Answer:
GP on sale = 20% or GP on cost = 25%
COGS = 10,00,000
GP on cost = 2,50,000
WCTR= net sales / WC = COGS + Gross profit / WC = 12,50,000/ 2,50,000 = 5 times
Current liabilities of a company include trade payables and short term provisions of Rs. 2,50,000 and
50,000 respectively. Credit purchase made during the year is for Rs. 7,50,000. Sales during the year
stand at Rs. 32,00,000 and sales return are for Rs. 200,000. Current assets are a total of Rs. 600,000.
Find out working capital turnover ratio and payable turnover ratio
(Answer: WC turnover ratio = 10 times; payable turnover ratio = 3 times)
Answer:
WCTR= net sales/ WC
Net sales = 30,00,000
WC = current assets current liability = 600,000 300,000 = 300,000
WCTR = 10 times
Payable turnover ratio = net credit purchase / average payables
Credit purchase = 750,000
Average payable = trade payable (250,000)
Payable turnover ratio = 3 times

50. WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO AND GROSS PROFIT RATIO:
Net sales is given as Rs. 30,00,000. Cost of sales is Rs. 20,00,000. Current assets stand at Rs. 600,000
and current liabilities are Rs. 2,00,000. Paid up share capital of the company is Rs. 500,000. Find out
Gross profit ratio and WC turnover ratio.
(Answer: WC T ratio = 7.5 times; GP Ratio = 33.33%)
Answer:
WCTR = net sales/ WC
Net sale = 30,00,000
WC = CA CL = 400,000
WCTR = 30,00,000/ 400,000 = 7.5 times
GP ratio = Gross profit *100/ net sales
Gross profit = 10,00,000
Net sales = 30,00,000
GP Ratio = 10,00,000 *100 / 30,00,000 = 33.33%

14. CURRENT RATIO:

New current assets = 360,000

New current liability = 200,000

Current ratio = 1.8:1

15. CURRENT RATIO:

Anuj Jindal successrbigradeb@gmail.com 8

Current assets = 100,000 *2.5 = 250,000

New current assets = 250,000 25000 = 225000

New current liability= 75000

New current ratio = 225000/75000 = 3:1

16. CURRENT RATIO:

(Answer: Rs. 200,000)

Anuj Jindal successrbigradeb@gmail.com 9

Current liability = 2000 + 6000 = 8000

Current ratio = 16000/ 8000 = 2:1

18. CURRENT RATIO:

From the following, calculate current ratio:

Current ratio = current assets/ current liability

Current assets = liquid assets + inventory + prepaid expenses

Current assets = 37500 + 10000 + 2500 = 50,000

Current liability = 20,000

Current ratio = 2.5:1

Anuj Jindal successrbigradeb@gmail.com 10

(Answer: Current ratio = 1:1; Liquid Ratio = 0.47:1)

Current liability = creditor + provision for tax = 24000

Current ratio = 1:1

Quick ratio = 11280/24000 = 0.47 :1

(Answer: Rs. 600,000)

Anuj Jindal successrbigradeb@gmail.com 11

Current ratio = current assets / current liability

Current assets = 300000 *3 = 900000

Quick assets = quick ratio * current liability = 300000

Therefore, stock = current assets quick assets = 600,000

21. DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO:

Equity shares 1,00,000 Debentures 75,000

General Reserve 45,000 Sundry Trade Creditors 40,000

Accumulated profits 30,000 Outstanding Expenses 10,000

Long term debt = debentures = 75000

Equity = equity shares + reserve + accumulated profits = 175000

Debt to equity ratio = 3:7

22. DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO:

Anuj Jindal successrbigradeb@gmail.com 12

(Answer: 2:1. Hint- shareholders funds = total assets total debt)

Long term debt = total debt current liability = 50,000

Total liability = total debt + shareholders funds

Therefore, 125000 = 100000 + shareholders funds

Shareholders funds = 25000

Debt to equity ratio = 50,000/25000 = 2:1

23. DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO:

Total long term debt = debentures = 150,000
