                1. Stocks include materials needed every day e.g. raw materials, paper and partly finished products
                  1. Stock is a business cost and are needed to operate and make goods, e.g. allows a butcher to show the range of meat on offer
                    1. Stock has an opportunity cost, instead of investing in it the money could be used for other purposes e.g. paying bills or earning interest
                      1. Stock that is unsold may be reduced to encourage customers to buy or may be wasted, which means the business makes less profit. e.g. Fruit that isn't sold by sell date is thrown away
                      2. Just in case stock control where a business holds enough stock for a possible increase in production or sales

                          1. The business can buy stock in bulk leading to lower prices, fewer deliveries and lower costs, called purchasing economies of scale
                          2. Drawback
                            1. The approach can lead to higher costs for storage and wasted stock, potentially lowering profits

                                  2. Disadvantages
                                    1. Buy small quantities so less likely to get bulk discount (economies of scale); more transport cost for more frequent deliveries
                                      1. At risk if there are difficulties with delivery/suppliers
