E) The firm sold the chocolate but must have given 10 people an IOU.

Sagot :

Answer: B. Inventory investment must be negative.

Explanation:

Inventory investment simply means the difference between the goods that are produced and the goods that are sold by a company during a given year. Inventory investment is given as:

= Production - Sales

Since the company sells 100 boxes of chocolate, but produced 90 boxes of chocolate during the year, then the inventory investment will be:

= 90 - 100

= -10

Therefore, the inventory investment is negative.
