Question

Charlie’s Cycles Inc. has $110 million in sales. The company
expects that its sales will increase 5% this year. Charlie’s CFO uses a simple linear
regression to forecast the company’s inventory level for a given level of projected sales.

On the basis of recent history, the estimated relationship between inventories and sales (in
millions of dollars) is as follows:
Inventories = $9 + 0.0875(Sales)
Given the estimated sales forecast and the estimated relationship between inventories and
sales, what are your forecasts of the company’s year-end inventory level and its inventory
turnover ratio?
