Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1CQ
Option c.
Explanation of Solution
Identify the inventory control methods that are most likely to be used for a product in which sales can be reliably forecasted:
- a. The Just in inventory process (JIT) is mainly used for the products that strive hard to
forecast demand. Moreover, Just in inventory process look for ways to minimize inventory (such as by making purchases only after sales). Hence, option “a” is an incorrect option. - b.

It is that quantity of inventory that a company should hold to reduce its inventory holding cost and ordering cost. Hence, option “b” is an incorrect option.
- c. Under Material Resource Planning (MRP), the sales can be forecasted and with this information it can purchase inventory to meet the anticipated requirements. Hence, option “c” is the correct option.
- d. The approach of activity based costing keeps the record of resources usage by operating activities and cost incurred for such activities. Managers can take effective and right decision with the help of activity based costing. Hence, option “d” is an incorrect option.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct option is option c.
