INVENTORY MANAGEMENT: What is the value of ending inventory? (1) Beginning inventory was $840K, purchases during period were $2.16M, and COGS was $2.28M (2) Inventory turnover ratio is 3.5 and annual COGS is $2.28M

(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient
(C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient
(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
(E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient
Answer: (A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient

Explanation:
Statement (1): Ending inventory = $840K + $2.16M - $2.28M = $720K. Sufficient. Statement (2): Inventory turnover = COGS/Avg Inventory. Average inventory = $2.28M/3.5 = $651K. However, this gives average, not ending inventory. Insufficient.
