Explanation:

Under IFRS, inventories must be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. For Year 1, the inventory value is €80 million (lower of €90 million and €80 million), and for Year 2, it is €100 million (lower of €100 million and €120 million). The inventory turnover ratio is calculated as:

$\text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{\text{Cost of Goods Sold}}{\text{Average Inventory}}$

For Year 2: $\text{Average Inventory} = \frac{100 + 80}{2} = 90$ $\text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{600}{90} \approx 6.7$

Thus, the correct answer is C (6.7). This aligns with the requirement to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, impacting financial ratios and statements.
