    The inventory forecast for next year is $ 120.4.

    Explanation:

    In this question relationship between sales and inventory is expressed in the form of an equation. This problem requires us to tell the value of inventory if sales is $ 400. So we can simply calculate the inventory value by putting value of x = 400 in the equaltion given in the question.

    Inventories = $26.8 + 0.234 x

    Inventories = $26.8 + 0.234 ($400)

    Inventories = $ 120.4

    (Assume sales increase is due to increase in quantity sold not price)
