Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to model the retailer's cost minimisation retail strategy when he confronts with the supplier trade promotion offer of credit policy of the type 'd/D₁ Net D' under inflationary conditions and inflation-induced demand. A simple-to-use algorithm has been used to obtain the optimal order quantity and total cost. Results have been validated with the help of numerical example along with the sensitivity analysis.

Keywords: inventory; inflation-induced demand; deteriorating items; shortages; trade credit; DCF; discounted cash flow; retailing; retail strategies; algorithms; sensitivity analysis; ordering policies; cost minimisation. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
