Answer:
Sales = $300,000,000
Sales Increase = 12%
Inventories = $25 + 0.125 (Sales)
Forecast sales = $300,000,000 * 1.12 = $336,000,000
As per equation inventory level = $25 + 0.125 (Sales)
= $25 + 0.125 ($336,000,000/1,000,000)
= $25 + $42
= $67 million
Inventory turnover ratio = Sales / Inventory
Inventory turnover ratio = $336,000,000/$67,000,000
Inventory turnover ratio = 5.014925373134328
Inventory turnover ratio = 5.015
