    D) 3.48

    Explanation:

    Current Year Sales = $700

    Growth rate = 15%

    Projected Sales=$700*15% + $700

    Which is $805

    Required inventory = $30.2 + 0.25*projected sales

    Req. Inv = $30.2 + 0.25 ($805)

    Req. Inv = $231.45

    Inventory turn over = projected sales/Req. inv

    $805/$231.45

    Inventory turn over = 3.48 times
