Transcribed Image Text:Pool Corporation, Inc., reported in its recent annual report that "In 2010, our industry
experienced some price deflation.... In 2011, our industry experienced more
normalized price inflation of approximately 3.4% overall despite price deflation for
certain chemical products." This suggests that in some years Pool's overall inventory
costs rise, and in some years they fall. Furthermore, in many years, the costs of some
inventory items rise while others fall. Assume that Pool has only two product items in
its inventory this year.
