Explanation / Answer

ITR = COGS/Avge Inv Avge Inv = (350,000 +500,000)/2 = 400,000 a. SO ITR for 2011 = 1000,000/400,000 = 2.5 ITR for 2012 = 1200,000/400,000 = 3.0 b. For ITR of 2.5, COGS = 1200,000, INV for 2011 is 350,000 SO ITR = COGS/(Inv2011 + Inv2012)/2 = 2*COGS/(Inv2011 + Inv2012) ie (Inv2011 + Inv2012) = 2*COGS/ITR = 2*1200,000/2.5 = 960,000 SO Inv2012 = 960,000 - INV2011 = 960,000 - 350000 = 610,000 ...
