Ah, this is a tricky one. I remember discussing whole life costing in class, but I can't quite recall all the specific elements that are included. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason this through step-by-step.

Okay, let me see. The whole life cost is supposed to capture all the costs over the lifetime of the asset, right? So inventory costs would definitely be part of that. I'm leaning towards D as the answer.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The whole life cost calculation should include the purchase price, but not the cost of setting up the tender, which is more of an administrative expense.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know the whole life cost includes things like maintenance and operating costs, but I'm not sure if defective work would be part of that. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I wonder if the answer is a riddle in itself. 'What gets included in a whole life cost calculation, yet isn't normally there?' Ooh, the suspense!
