Fictional stock and purchase bridge · OMR
Position or commitmentAmount
A: existing stock value, 3,000 × 26,000
B: existing stock value, 600 × 53,000
C: existing stock value, 50 × 201,000
Total existing stock at assumed cost10,000
Both proposed purchases4,500
Available purchasing cash2,500
Gap before deferring A2,000
Cash needed after deferring A2,500

Existing stock: 6,000 + 3,000 + 1,000 = 10,000. Purchase gap: 4,500 − 2,500 = 2,000. C’s possible replenishment gap remains unpriced and must be resolved before final approval. Hypothetical assumptions; not a client result, valuation opinion or universal reorder target.
