(5) Consider a firm that experiences temporary booms and buts in sales. Rather than
adjusting production to match the fluctuations in sales, the firm may find it cheaper to
produce goods at a steady rate. When sales are low, the firm produces more than it
sells and puts the extra goods into inventory. When sales are high, the firm produces
less than it sells and takes goods out of inventory. This motive for holding inventories
is called production smoothing.
