Answer:

A) Expected inventory increases.

Explanation:

The newsvendor model is used by supply chain management to determine inventory levels. It applies math and economics into a sales model where new products are very profitable, but they are also very perishable (last one or two days at most). The unsold inventory is sold at a very low salvage price, but each unit sold has a very high contribution margin.

In this case, each unit sold generates $10 in profit (100% markup), but each unit not sold results in a $5 loss (50% loss).

The mathematical formula for the newsvendor model is:

CF = CU ÷ (CU + CO)

  • CF = critical fractile = desired inventory level
  • CU = cost of underage = opportunity cost of losing a sale
  • CO = cost of overage = cost of discarding an unsold product

When the in-stock probability increases, the CU increases, therefore CF increases, resulting in higher inventory levels.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

<u>Answer: </u>Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Prospective approach is used for bring changes into accounts. In the LCNRV rule the accounting principle of lesser value of the stock is so that the amount sold can be mentioned as the net realizable value (NRV). Here the principle of using low cost of net realizable value is known as LCNRV. This cannot be changed using prospective approach.

Other changes such as the depreciation from straight line to double declining depreciation, LIFO from average costing for inventories and other change from double declining to straight line depreciation can be done with the prospective approach.
