Abstract
"The expansion of plant or hoarding of inventory in anticipation of a rise in price is business policy arrived at as a result of decision-making". "The typical business cycle shows the smallest inventories during the early recovery phase, then rising as business improves, and peak inventories at some time during the general price collapse". Inventory losses are a result of decision-making and may or may not be detected until these costs are applied against future sales, which usually are generated under depressed industry prices. Businessmen must expect eventually to lose the inventory profits they temporarily gain from a general rise in price.
