Assume Dell's yearly inventory cost is 30 percent to account for the cost of capital for financing the inventory, the warehouse space, and the cost of obsolescence. In other words, Dell incurs a cost of $30 for a $100 component that is in the company's inventory for one entire year. In 2001, Dell's 10-k reports showed that the company had $280 million in inventory and COGS of $23,100 million. To compute the percentage of cost of the inventory, determine the following:
a. Find the value of the inventory.
b. Find the cost of goods sold.
c. Compute inventory turns. (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
d. What percentage of cost of a Dell computer reflects inventory costs? (Round the answer to 3 decimal places.)

= $280 million in inventory + COGS $23,100 million
