Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost Of Goods Sold/Avg.Stock
9 = 18.00/Avg.Stock
Avg.stock = 2.00 lacs
12 = 18.00/Avg.Stock
Avg.Stock = 1.50 lacs
Reduction in Stock Level = 50000
Savings = 50000 * 10% = 5000/-

given inventory turnover 9 times a year,
total cost = 18 lks
average stock level =18/9=2 lks
carrying cost = 2 lks*10/100=20000
if inventory turnover is 12 times ,average stock level =18/12=1.5 lks
carrying cost = 1.5*10/100=15000
incrimental savings = 5000
