7. 3-7 Example Suppose that in an inventory of 10 items, 15% of the items account for 80% of the sales volume. The totalsales of all 10 items is $90,000 per year. Howmuch inventory can be expected if turnover First, findA. 0.0462=.15-.80.80)-.15(1 =A Then, usingA= 0.0462 and the first item (1/10), we project the sales volume to be: sales the of 71.6% or,7156.0.10+.0462.0462).10+(1 =Y  The inventory for this item is expected to be 0.716(90,000)/8 = $8,055.
