    Truman has a higher inventory turnover ratio and Stapleton has a higher gross profit ratio (D)

    Explanation:

    Truman sell a large number of common household items (assuming 100 unit)

    while Stapleton sells a small number of expensive items (assuming 20 units)

    lets assume : Truman sells at $5 per unit and Stapleton sells at $50 per unit

    with the above assumptions

    Truman gross profit ratio = $5 * 100 units = $500

    Stapleton gross profit ratio = $50 * 20 units = $1000

    from the above assumptions you can deduce that the gross profit made by Stapleton is higher although he sells a smaller amount of goods while Truman has a higher Turnover because of its higher number of sold units
