a. If a firm increases its sales while holding its inventories constant, then, other things held constant, its inventory turnover ratio will increase.

Explanation:

Inventory turnover ratio is defined as the number of times that stock is used up during a given period. It determines the number of times a business needs to restock.

For example a business may have to replenish stock twice a year.

The formula is

Inventory turnover ratio = (Cost of goods sold) ÷ (Average Inventory)

If sales increases it will cause an increase in cost of goods sold. That is the numerator in the equation.

As inventory is held constant the denominator rains the same.

So an increase in sales will result in an increase in inventory turnover ratio
