Answer:

a. 9.1 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 4 percent deflation between the second and third years.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of inflation/deflation, we have to divide by the oldest price index.

The second year, the variation of the price index was:

\Delta PI/PI=\frac{PI_2-PI_1}{PI_1}=\frac{100-110}{110}=\frac{-10}{110}=-0.909=-9.1\%

This means a 9.1% deflation.

The third year, the variation of the price index was:

\Delta PI/PI=\frac{PI_3-PI_2}{PI_2}=\frac{96-100}{100}=\frac{-4}{100}=-0.04=-4\%

This means a 4% deflation.

aksik [14]

Inventory Costs plays a major role in ascertaining working capital requirements as well structuring cash flow statement.

Explanation:

In the given example,  

inventory cost  40 percent

Inventory Value $400 million

 

Ratio of inventory cos ts to inventory value = Inventory Cost / Inventory Value .

so in the current case it will be  40% x/$400 million

Hence, Inventory Cost 160 Million

Since the cost is fairly on a higher side at 40$ it should try to reduce it which will help in improving its bottom-line.

Company should focus on offering on discounts and promotions and reduce Obsolete Stock.  

It should work on restructuring and organizing warehouse costs by prioritizing inventory based on their movements.  

The procurement team should order in minimum quantities and benchmark reorder point.
