Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Average stock is the calculating the addition of stock at the beginning and at the end of the financial period and dividing the value by two.

  It is the average value of products kept for sale during an accounting period.

  Therefore:

  Average stock = opening stock + closing stock/2

  = 32000 + 9000/2

  = 41000/2

  =₦ 20500
