Material prices are not altogether within the control of the
manufacturer; but the purchasing department, on being apprised of production quantities
required, should be able, from its knowledge of current market conditions and trends, to state
with reasonable accuracy price for the constituent items. The standards for prices of materials
should be based on the following factors, if price fluctuations are small and are not serious.
(a) Stock of materials on hand and the prices at which they are held;(b) The prices at which orders for future deliveries of materials have already been placed
and
(c) Anticipated fluctuation in price levels.
