Your first task is to evaluate the inventory position of each tree. The farm does not keep any backorder information, so the only data you have is for-sale and in-field quantities. Think about for-sale as on-hand trees, and in-field as on-order trees. Calculate the inventory position using two measures: the actual number of trees and an estimate of the years-of-supply for each tree. The current year forecast can be used to estimate years-of-supply. Answer this question by creating two columns that capture this information.
