In the A-B-C classification system, items which account for 60 percent of the total dollar volume for few inventory items would be classified as: A. A items B. B items C. C items D. A items plus B items E. B items plus C items

With the A-B-C system, an item that had a high demand but a low annual dollar volume would probably be classified as: A. A B. B C. C

In the A-B-C classification system, items which account for 15 percent of the total dollar volume for a majority of the inventory items would be classified as: A. A items B. B items C. C items D. A items plus B items E. B items plus C items

C items
