Purchase quantity, average

Average purchase quantity measures the average amount purchased per order. The goal is to identify whether a sufficient level of aggregation is occurring across locations when placing an order. 

Customers These are people who shop primarily at the supetmar-kets. Their purchase quantities are influenced by store promotions, with the extent of impact of pricing depending on the mix of customers shopping at a store. Typically retail promotions may be accompanied by increased purchases as customers stockpile product to gain a low average price over time. The extent of this promotion activity is dictated by store customer characteristics. 

Average purchase price measures the average price at which a good or service was purchased during the year. The average should be obtained by weighting each price by the quantity purchased at that price. 

Published figures for inflation rates are based on some particular mixture of goods and sei vices that is chosen to represent the material wants of the average citizen. If a given quantity of this specific mixture cost 100 last year and now costs 120, then the mix has suffered a 20 percent rate of inflation. The purchasing power of the currency (i.e., of the 120) in respecl of these goods and sei vices has consequently fallen by a factor of ( 120 — 100)/ 120, or 16.7 percent. 

Dimethoxybenzylamine was purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc., and used without any purification. It is air sensitive and decomposes on standing into a white solid (3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid). The success of the Cycloaddition depends on having stoichiometric quantities of reagents. The quantity of 3,4-dimethoxybenzylamine added (less than one equivalent) is related to the average quantity of glyceraldehyde acetonide present in the crude aqueous solution. 

Aiming to keep the procurement function in touch with market forces on a daily basis, this tool sees users subscribe to a central database that provides a comparison of real prices with the highest, lowest, and market average. Some also offer information on annual usage, and quantities purchased. In addition, the PI Price Management Service provides details on a broad range of sectors - the health service, higher education, and financial services. 

The average indoor residential radon level in the United States is about 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), over three times the average outdoor level of -0.4 pCi/L. While there is no safe level of radon, the action level for mitigation set by the EPA is 4 pCi/L. (One curie of radioactivity is equivalent to the quantity of a given nuclide that provides 3.700 x 10 ° disintegrations per second). Radon levels are often evaluated at the time of a house purchase. However, testing can be carried out at any time by a professional or with a self-test kit. 

At present, cost estimates for electricity production are even higher. For example, in Turkey, the discussion with Rosatom focusses on a fixed price Power Purchase Agreement for 15 years under a Build-Own-Operate scheme the weighted average cost is US 123.5/MWh and the quantity of electricity is fixed. In the UK, EDF has been offered an investment contract for Hinkley Point C (ie, the construction of UK s first nuclear plant in 28 years) with a strike price for its electricity output of GBP 92.50 (ie, 125 in 2012 prices) per MWh, which will be adjusted (linked to inflation) during the construction period and over the subsequent 35-year tariff period this strike price for electricity from Hinkley Point C is roughly twice the current wholesale price of power. 

Volume-based quantity discount Observe that the two-part tariff is really a volume-based quantity discount whereby the retailer DO pays a lower average unit cost as it purchases larger quantities each year (the franchise feeffis amortized over more units). This observation can be made explicit by designing a volume-based discount scheme that gets the retailer DO to purchase and sell the quantity sold when the two stages coordinate their actions. 

A key distinction between lot-size-based and volume discounts is that lot-size discounts are based on the quantity purchased per lot, not the rate of purchase. Volume discounts, in contrast, are based on the rate of purchase or volume purchased on average per specified time period (say, a month, quarter, or year). Lot-size-based discounts tend to raise the cycle inventory in the supply chain by encouraging retailers to increase the size of each lot. Volume-based discounts, in contrast, are compatible with small lots that reduce cycle inventory. Lot-size-based discounts make sense only when the manufacturer incurs high fixed cost per order. In all other instances, it is better to have volume-based discounts.
