On the basis of information given below the closing Inventory will be

Opening inventory 20,000

average inventory 40,000

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Given Information:

  • Opening Inventory = ₹20,000
  • Average Inventory = ₹40,000
  • Closing Inventory = ?

The formula for Average Inventory is:

Average Inventory=Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory2\text{Average Inventory} = \frac{\text{Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory}}{2}

Substituting the given values:

40,000=20,000+Closing Inventory240,000 = \frac{20,000 + \text{Closing Inventory}}{2}

Multiplying both sides by 2:

80,000=20,000+Closing Inventory80,000 = 20,000 + \text{Closing Inventory}

Closing Inventory=80,000−20,000=60,000\text{Closing Inventory} = 80,000 - 20,000 = 60,000

Therefore, the Closing Inventory is ₹60,000 (Option 3).

This makes logical sense as the average of 20,000 and 60,000 equals 40,000, confirming our answer.
