Financial Results for Birmingham Wire and Cable Supply Company Year end 12/31/22 As the VP of Operations for Birmingham Wire and Cable Supply, managing the Cost of Goods Sold, inventory, and gross margins are very important. A key component of your inventory is copper wire, and you are very sensitive to the market price of copper since that will affect your cost of copper wire and cable. Lately, you have been reading that copper prices are likely to go significantly higher over the next year. Given this information, you need to report to the CEO your plan for your inventory purchases next year. In doing so, answer the following questions: 1. What is your current inventory turnover ratio? (Show your calculations) 2. Given the expected rise of inventory costs in copper next year, would you plan to increase or decrease your purchases of copper wire and cable over the next few months? Explain in detail the reasoning behind your decision (the CEO would need your explanation to provide to the company's Board of Directors). (Don't worry about doing a financial analysis. Think operationally, and assume if it is critical to act now, your CFO will assist in the financing decisions)
