Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Inventory holding economics, working capital drain, and clearance discounting strategies in Nepal.

Inventory Carrying Cost is the total annual cost of holding unsold stock. It comprises: (1) Capital Cost: bank working capital/overdraft interest tied up in stock (10%–13% p.a.), (2) Storage Space Cost: warehouse rent, electricity, security (5%–8% p.a.), and (3) Inventory Risk Cost: damage, dust, fashion obsolescence, and shrinkage (3%–5% p.a.). In Nepal, total carrying costs typically range from 20% to 25% of inventory value per year.
Holding Rs. 10 Lakhs of dead stock for 18 months costs approximately Rs. 3.2 Lakhs in lost bank interest, rent, and value deterioration. Retailers often resist selling at a 20% discount today, unaware that holding the goods for another year will erase more than 30% of their original capital.
Liquidating slow-moving items at or below cost price recovers trapped liquidity immediately. Reinvesting that cash into high-turnover fast-moving items generates multiple gross profit cycles in the same 12-month period.
