A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/M/J/21

Explanation
Revenue from inventory turnover and gross margin Steps:
- Average inventory = (20,000) / 2 = $30,000
- COGS = inventory turnover × average inventory = 20 × 600,000
- Gross margin of 25% means COGS is 75% of revenue
- Revenue = COGS / 0.75 = 800,000
Why B is correct:
- Revenue = COGS / (1 - gross margin), where gross margin is sales profit percentage, so 800,000
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Uses 80% COGS ratio (750,000), ignoring 25% margin
- C: Uses 66.67% COGS ratio (900,000), misapplying margin
- D: Uses 60% COGS ratio (1,000,000), understating COGS share
Final answer: B
