    1. C. To increase total invested capital

    2. B. 98%

    Explanation:

    (1). An organization monitors its inventory to ensure it has enough quantity of raw materials, so the production process is not disrupted.

    Also when an organization purchases inventory in bulk, it gets a discount on the purchase price.

    An organization also manages its inventory to ensure it has a range of goods available in anticipation of customers' demands.

    Inventory does NOT increase the total amount of capital invested.

    (2). Probability (risk) of stockout = 2% = 0.02

    Service level = 1 - stockout risk

    Service level = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98 = 98%
