Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loss prevention measures need to be cost-effective. If the cost of implementing a measure outweighs the potential savings from reducing losses, it may not be worth implementing. In the case of excessively tight security, the cost of the measures may lead to decreased sales due to customers feeling uncomfortable or inconvenienced, and the added costs of hiring additional personnel to monitor and enforce the measures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the costs and benefits of loss prevention measures before implementation. The other choices are inaccurate as they do not provide valid reasons why some loss prevention measures may not be worth implementing.
