    Explanation:

    The square root rule of inventory states that the average inventory level can be calculated by multiplying the total inventory by the square root of the number of future warehouses divided by the number of the current warehouses. It's purpose is to estimate the effect of risk pooling.

    Workings

    X2 = (X1) * (N2/N1)

    Inventory per warehouse = 4000

    No of Warehouse = 5

    To inventory = 4000*5 = 20,0000

    New no of Ware house = 3

    20000 (√5/3) =

    20000*1.29=25,768
