The explanation which you are giving here may be accepted. 1. Corresponding to increase in Prices of raw material, Finished fabrics prices have not been arisen. 2. Substantiate your above claim with 10-12 sales and purchase bills,
3. Turnover can be increased only by lowering the profit margin.
As you must be maintaining quantitative records also, reasons can be explained and relied upon.
