Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The Economic Order Quantity is a formula which attempts to calculate the most efficient quantity to order at any given time, by attempting to reconcile the cost of stockholding and the cost of plac-ing an order. This could then have implications for the timing of an order being placed.

The cost of holding stock can be reasonably accurately calculated and agreed with one's peers. However, determining the cost of placing an order can keep colleagues up late into the night, and can be a great topic to liven up a sleepy procurement / finance function.

Gotta be D) Revenue. I mean, who cares about costs or savings when you're trying to calculate added value? Show me the money!

D) Revenue makes the most sense to me. Can't have added value without revenue, right?

Hmm, I was leaning towards B) Expenditure, but now I'm not so sure. This is a tricky one.

I agree with Ahmed, A) Costs makes the most sense in this context.

I think it's A) Costs because added value is calculated by subtracting costs from total revenue.

I think it's D) Revenue. That's the classic definition of added value in accounting.
