2y ago#1The holding period is measuring how long the inventory will last based on the current level of sales.
A is correct because although the future sales are going to be higher, the current sales are not changed but the inventory is a lot higher.
B means there will be less inventory, and so the holding period is not going to be higher.
C and D neither of them are going to change the level of inventory.
