RE: Inventory Costs
Hi Minerva,
We want to ensure that we stay within the parameters noted by the CFO for our liquidity risk, which we partially manage
through our inventory policies.
We purchase the shaded sheets for our glasses from a wholesaler and use them to manufacture our products before
selling them to customers. Inventory costs therefore consist only of purchase costs, fixed ordering costs per order, and
carrying costs. We incur no stockout costs.
We signed a contract with the wholesaler that fixes the purchase cost per shaded sheet at $ for Years The carrying
cost averages $ per sheet, and the ordering cost per order is $ Our annual demand is expected to be
sheets.

Note: The difference between the current and the quick ratio is due to inventory only.
