Tinker, Evers and Chance inventory investment 10 millions

Explanation:

Inventory investment:

Will be the diference in amount betwene the ending and beginning invnetory. It assumes that a company will use the revenue from sale to at least maintan ther inventory.

When the company invest on inventory, it meas it increase their stock of goods.

A company will disinvest if the ending is lower than beginning, because the sales proceeds were not used to purchase inventory.

Ending inventory - beginning inventory = inventory investment

70 - 60 = 10
