Company DDD has recently seen a drop in share price and has high levels of Work-in-Progress (WIP) due to late supplier deliveries. Which of the following is the type of risk the business facing?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

This is a financial risk. A drop in share prices is a huge financial risk for a company. Having lots of items as WIP is also a financial risk as this signifies that a lot of money is tied up in stock being held on site. Types of risk are very popular exam questions for this module- for a full list of these and s see p.11

Definitely a logistical risk. Late deliveries are a big issue.

Reputation risk could be a factor too, especially if customers are unhappy with delays. It's hard to choose just one!

Opportunity risk sounds like it could fit, but I feel like that's more about missed chances rather than current issues.

I remember a practice question about supplier delays affecting operations. That might relate to logistical risk here.

I think the drop in share price suggests a financial risk, but I'm not entirely sure if it's just that.
