A. Purchase of ERP system
B. Purchase of standard catalogued products
C. Straight re-buy from a current supplier
D. Spot purchase of a technically complexed machinery
E. Procurement of construction projects
Explanation:
According to L4M7 study guide, acquisition costs in procurement are the costs associated with the activities involved in a purchase. A buying organisation incurs acquisition costs in low-value purchases as well as high-value purchases.
The following purchases tend to have lower acquisition costs:
- Straight re-buy from a current supplier
- Purchase of standard catalogued products
Otherwise, any purchases of high value, high-risk items generally require greater attention of buying organisation and thus, they are likely to have higher acquisition costs. Spot purchase of a technically complexed machinery, Purchase of ERP system and Procurement of construction projects are examples of high-value, high-risk purchases.
