[All CPA-Business Questions]

Which of the following actions is the acknowledged preventive measure for a period of deflation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Choice 'a' is correct. As the cost of carrying inventory decreases, safety stock would tend to increase to reduce the risk of stock outs.

Choice 'b' is incorrect. As sales become more predictable (sales variability decreases), less (not more) safety stock would be needed because the risk of stock outs would have decreased.

Choice 'c' is incorrect. If the cost of stock outs decrease, safety stock would decrease.

Choice 'd' is incorrect. If lead-time decreases, safety stock would decrease.

Increasing interest rates during deflation? That's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline!

Wait, isn't decreasing the money supply the way to combat inflation? I'm so confused!

But wouldn't increasing interest rates discourage borrowing and spending, leading to deflation?

Hmm, I thought decreasing interest rates was the way to go during deflation. I hope I don't get this one wrong on the exam!
