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!

Whole life cost calculation? Sounds like a lot of fun, can I use a calculator that looks like a Bat-signal?

Wait, what? Inventory costs? Is this a trick question or something? That's gotta be the answer, right?

Inventory costs? Really? That seems a bit specific to include in a whole life cost calculation. I'm not convinced that's a normal consideration.

I think the cost of rectifying defective work is a tricky one. It's not always clear if that should be included or not.

Hmm, the purchase price is definitely included in a whole life cost calculation. I'm not so sure about the cost of setting up the tender though.
