Answer:

C. ≈2,413 gallons

Explanation:

For computing the average inventory, first we have to determine the economic order quantity which is shown below:

=\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{90,000}\times \text{\$120}}{\text{\$0.927}}}

= 4,827.1079 gallons

The carrying cost is

= Price of fuel × holding cost per unit

= $3.09 × 30%

= $0.927

Now the average inventory of fuel is

= Economic order quantity ÷ 2

= 4,827.1079 gallons ÷ 2

= 2,413 gallons
