About this lesson
The lesson explains how to analyse working capital ratios, including inventory, receivables, payables, cash, current ratio, quick ratio and the operating cycle, then turn your findings into practical recommendations. You’ll also learn how to apply the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model to inventory management, assess bulk discounts and compare total ordering, holding and purchase costs. The debrief highlights key assumptions and limitations, including storage capacity, delivery arrangements, sustainability and obsolescence, while showing how to structure clear, exam-focused answers rather than reproduce a full model solution.
