Is it just me or do others find the usage of a category “including lost volumes” for cost price confusing and annoying?
As the remaining beer is actually lost, to have a fictitious number including “what if it would not be lost” is only useful for a reference for brewery/packaging efficiency, only to be used in a report somewhre.
I find it confusing that it is displayed very prominently on the product page with a lengthy explanation. as a non-native speaker I have to mentally double check which one is the actual price.
Also the suggestion here is that it is also used in stock valuations. It suggests that even behind the scenes this differentation has created confusion as the actual value of the packaged product does NOT include lost volumes obviously.
