      Our Course Notes contain enough to pass the exam, provided that you practice lots of questions (by getting a Revision/Exam Kit from one of the publishers).

      @fourteenapril2012, You can invent your own formula if you want, but in the exam you will be tested that you understand – not that you have just learned a formula for the cost. So do not learn a formula – make sure that you understand how the costs have been calculated. Once you understand then it is very easy.

      @success4u, You should also make sure that you study from one of the study texts available. It is also very useful to have a Revision/Exam Kit, because practicing questions is the best way of all of learning for the exam.

    for the lding cost calcuation, where its divided by 2 to get the average. i understand the graph drawn to illustrate how and why the average was calculated. but my question is why not take the whole qantity? instead of the average, which will give only an approximation.

      @zeeprincess, we assume that holding costs are charged on a day by day basis – a large cost when the warehouse is full, and no cost when it is empty.
      So the total cost over the year will be the average inventory level multiplied by the holding cost per unit.
      I do not see why the average is an approximation!

        I think the issue of average inventory is confusing. If the holding cost is per annum, why is i wrong to get 40,000 divide by 2 to get the average inventory.

      • John Moffat says

        July 16, 2015 at 6:26 pm

        It is not wrong, which is what I was explaining to zeeprincess – we do apply the holding cost to the average inventory (which is the order quantity divided by 2)!

    The purchase cost will stay the same regardless of the quantity being ordered. However in later chapters when discounts is introduced the purchase price/cost will become relevant in the decision making.
