Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Given that Current ratio = 3.0

And Current Liabilities = $1000000

Current Assets = Current Liabilities * Current Ratio

=1,000,000*3 = $3,000,000

Further Given that Quick ratio = 2.0

Quick Assets = Current Liabilities * Quick Ratio

=1,000,000 * 2

=$2,000,000

Now Inventories = Current Assets – Quick Assets

=$3,000,000 -$2,000,000

=$1,000,000

Given that Inventory turnover = 6 times

Now Cost of Sales = Average inventory * Inventory turnover ratio

= $1,000,000 * 6 = $6,000,000

Hence Cost of Sales is $6,000,000
