None of the above

option (D) 10.34

Explanation:

The inventory turnover ratio for 2016 will be given as:

= [Cost of goods sold ] : Average inventory

also,

Cost of goods sold in 2016 = $148,669

Average inventory = [ 2015 inventory + 2016 inventory ] : 2

= [ 14,001 + 14,760 ] : 2

= 28761 : 2

= 14,380.5

Therefore,

The inventory turnover ratio for 2016 = $148,669 : 14,380.5

= 10.34

Hence,

The answer is option (D) 10.34
