K Supermarket spends $80,000 per year on checking and processing receipts of inventory. Annual warehouse costs are a further $70,000 per year. These costs are currently treated as fixed overheads in the company's costing system.

K Supermarket receives a total of 3,600 deliveries every year. 20% of these deliveries are of perishable goods such as grapes. It takes twice as long to process a delivery of perishable goods compared to a normal delivery because perishable goods have to be checked more carefully.
