Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inventory refers to the products or goods that retailers and wholesalers purchase to resell to customers. This investment in inventory typically represents the largest capital outlay after payroll since it is the primary product that generates revenue for the business. Office equipment, computers, and vehicles are also important investments for many businesses, but they typically do not require the same level of investment as inventory. Taxes and licensing fees are ongoing expenses that businesses must incur, but they are not typically considered capital outlays.
