The average stock is
Answer Details
To calculate the average stock, we can use the formula:
Average Stock = (Opening Stock + Closing Stock) / 2
Given:
Turnover = D36,000
Purchases = D28,000
Opening Stock = D2,000
Closing Stock = D3,000
We can calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) using the formula:
COGS = Turnover - Purchases
COGS = D36,000 - D28,000
COGS = D8,000
We can calculate the Average Stock using the formula above:
Average Stock = (Opening Stock + Closing Stock) / 2
Average Stock = (D2,000 + D3,000) / 2
Average Stock = D2,500
Therefore, the average stock is D2,500.
