Continued This is a continuation of Exercise 13. As we saw earlier, the stock turnover rate of an item is the number of times that the average inventory of the item needs to be replaced as a result of sales in a given time period. Suppose that a hardware store sells 80 shovels each year. a. Suppose that the hardware store maintains an average inventory of 5 shovels. What is the annual stock turnover rate for the shovels? How is this related to the yearly number of orders to the wholesaler needed to restock inventory? b. What would he the annual stock turnover rate if the store maintained an average inventory of 20 shovels? c.

Depreciation Once a new car is driven away from the dealer, it begins to lose value. Each year, a car loses 10% of its value. This means that each year the value of a car is 90% of the previous year’s value. If a new car was purchased for $20,000, the value at the end of the first year would be $20000(0.90) and the value of the car after the end of the second year would be $20000(0.90)2. Complete the table shown below. What will be the value of the car at the end of the eighth year? Simplify the expression, to show the value in dollars.
