Popis: In the present paper, the effect of income elasticity on de- mand has been considered and the buyer's optimal special order quan- tity and optimal time has been determined, when supplier reduces sale price then buyer may offer a discount to push his sale to increase his profit margin. Income elasticity effect in inventory analysis has been introduced to obtain the gain equation to find the optimal special or- der quantity and profit associated with it when remnant inventory is zero. The profit and optimal order quantity are also derived when rem- nant inventory is finite. The cost of saving was also determined when due to inflation rise in the sale price is imminent. Finally optimal in- ventory ordering policy has been discussed to get maximum profit.
