Risk costs

Inventory might be perishable, in which case it could spoil, but even nonperishable inventory can suffer from deterioration such as damage from rot or evaporation. Another risk is obsolescence. When new and improved products come on the market, the old model loses value. Some products lose value simply because tastes change. Transportation and materials handling also pose a risk of product damage. Goods may be subject to pilferage, which includes theft as well as goods that are misplaced. The cost of insurance for the inventory may be included. Perishable goods, innovative technology, and items with a high street value can have high risk costs, while other products will have low risk costs.
