  Holding cost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holding cost also includes the opportunity cost of reduced responsiveness to customers' changing requirements, slowed introduction of improved items, and the inventory's value and direct expenses, since that money could be used for other purposes.
While it is possible to measure the components of holding cost, it is common to estimate them as at least one-third the value of the stored goods per year.
If opportunity cost is included, it is reasonable to use one-half the value of stored goods as their holding cost.

 Supply Chain Management Review - The Real Cost of Holding Inventory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Expressed as a percentage, cost of capital is the average of the required return on equity and the interest rate on debt, weighted by the proportion of equity and debt, respectively, to total capitalization.
Another flaw in the use of the short-term borrowing cost for the inventory cost of capital is that it does not consider the company's "targeted capital structure"—that is, what percentage the company desires in the long term to finance with debt (the sum of short-term and long-term debt) and what percentage to finance by equity.
The cost of capital is 9 percent and is the after-tax weighted average cost of capital.

To derive the EOQ Model, set order cost equal to holding cost and solve for the decision variable Q. Holding cost is average inventory times the holding cost per dollar investment in inventory per year.
For example, what is the impact on Q and total costs of changing the holding cost percent to 28%, what is the impact on Q and total cost of a 25% decrease in demand, and so forth.
Cost (C) Recall that we computed the EOQ as 348 for the unit cost of $18.

 Greenhouse Effect and Sea Level Rise
Where development is unprotected, the estimates of lost land and structures would probably account for the costs of increased flooding; although flood plains would move inland, the value of structures standing in the new flood plain would be approximately balanced by the inundated structures that are lost.
The low estimates were based on the assumption that unit sand costs remain constant, while the high estimates assume that unit costs increase as the least expensive nearshore deposits are exhausted and it becomes necessary to go farther out to sea or mine lower-quality deposits.
Estimating the cost of elevating roads and structures required us to obtain estimates of (1) the area of developed land that would be elevated, (2) the density of structures, and (3) unit cost factors.

 Holding Company Cost Economies in the Global Advertising and Marketing Services Business
A translog cost function is employed wherein a firm’s costs vary according to its scale and two dimensions of the scope of its operations.
A firm’s total variable costs are affected by its scale, scope (mix of services and markets served), and by the interaction of the two dimensions of scope.
Scope economies arise when cost savings can be realized by a single firm jointly producing several services or jointly serving multiple markets as compared to splitting up the firm into smaller, stand-alone entities, each one producing just one service or serving a single market.

Cost of Holding FX Reserves Estimated at 1.5 Pct of GDP
The cost of holding current foreign exchange reserves worth $141.5 billion is estimated at 1.5 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), according to Citigroup.
The group pointed out that even allowing for an added inducement to hold reserves in the hope of lowering foreign borrowing costs for the nation, the current hoard looks excessive relative to both short-term foreign debt and how much the country may be paying to avoid another financial crisis.

Holding or carrying cost is the cost of maintaining inventory, including the cost of space, heat and electricity, insurance and loss of interest if the money were in the bank instead of tied up in inventory.
The cost of holding one unit for one year is denoted by H. The constant H is often expressed as a proportion I of the unit price P: H = IP.
The quantity ordered is denoted by Q. The larger Q is, the smaller the annual ordering cost, but the larger the annual holding cost, so there is a trade-off.

 An Economic Order Quantity Model For Time Varying Demand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In this paper, a generalized relationship between the demand and the ratio of the ordering cost and the inventory holding cost is derived when the total of the ordering and holding costs is minimized.
The result is that the total cost will be the sum of two functions: one function (holding cost) that is directly proportional to the order quantity and another function (ordering cost) that is inversely proportional to the order quantity.
Since the cost of ordering and cost of holding inventory for these companies are not known, for this example, we assume that the cost of holding inventory will be about $1.00 per unit per year and the cost of ordering the inventory will be about $25.

This paper models the impact of inventory holding cost and reactive capacity on Northco's targeted understocking and overstocking cost and offers a solution methodology for such problems.
It quantifies the impact of varying inventory carrying costs (and hence, high working capital costs) on stockout costs and the value of additional capacity.
Results illustrate that apparel manufacturers with high working capital costs, and hence high inventory carrying costs, should target higher stockout costs and achieve lower capacity utilization.

Although the cost of computing has decreased considerably, the cost of data acquisition has not decreased in a similar fashion.
Business organizations still have many items for which the cost of data acquisition for a “perpetual” inventory system is still considerably higher than the cost of the item.
Important Note: Calculations of total cost under (a) and (b) are actually inappropriate because the original assumptions as to lot size would not be satisfied by the calculated EOQs.
