teddajr Why not B - under LIFO?
If the prices increase COGS will increase.
Hence, inventory turnover will also increase.
achu High turnover is not necessarily concurrent with an increase in prices. Consider a monopolitic competetion scenario where a company goes for high volume and low margins. They might decrease prices to get/sustain high turnover. While you might find a scenerio where your thoughts work, I believe A is the best choice by a good margin.
