What is Holding cost (carrying cost)?
Holding cost is what it costs to keep a unit in stock for a year, covering storage, insurance, handling, shrinkage and the cost of the cash tied up.
It is usually expressed as a percentage of unit cost. Many businesses use roughly 15–30% a year; the true figure depends on your storage costs and cost of capital.
