What the paper says

This study creates an inventory model for a product that deteriorates gradually over time, with a hybrid price and stock-dependent demand that is affected by inflation and customer returns. We know from experience that demand is not necessarily constant, linear, or nonlinear; it is uncertain. The selling price, stock, and time value of money all influence demand. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. Customer returns are thought to rise in direct proportion to the portion vended and the product cost. The principle goal is to find the ideal cost structure, the time when there is no supply shortage, the appropriate restocking cycle, and the order amount all at the same time. The actual value of total profit is maximised over an indefinite time horizon.
