But most investment projects have large investment and last a long time, and typically the output is also very large, therefore, it’s difficult to ascertain the future profits and costs, the inventory come out easily in the product market. To get close to the market and really assess the future cash flows of the investment projects. In the balance analysis, the factors of inventory that is created between the consumer market and the investment should be given full consideration. The article points out, it is difficult to reach "balance between production and sales" in the real market, it is to improve the traditional break-even analysis by considering inventory.
