✍️ Sample CRA Questions & Answers

1. Dynamic pricing allows retailers to adjust prices in real time based on which of the following factors?
Demand fluctuations, competitor pricing, and inventory levels

Dynamic pricing algorithms respond to real-time signals — demand, competition, and stock levels — to maximize revenue per unit.

2. Which supply chain document formally authorizes a supplier to begin production or ship goods, and is legally binding upon acceptance?
Purchase order (PO)

A purchase order is the retailer's legal offer to buy specific goods at agreed terms; once accepted by the supplier it forms a binding contract.

3. A retailer is standardizing its inventory counting procedures. What is the best practice for conducting a physical inventory count?
Freeze inventory transactions, count systematically by location, and reconcile to system records

Freezing transactions, counting by location, and reconciling to system records ensures accuracy and allows meaningful identification of variances.

4. A retail store's business continuity plan (BCP) should be tested at a minimum of which frequency according to best practices?
Annually, with updates after any significant operational change

Annual testing ensures the BCP remains relevant and that staff are familiar with procedures, with reviews triggered by major operational changes.

5. A retail analyst reviewing incident logs notices a spike in 'near-miss' reports following a new store layout implementation. What does this pattern most likely indicate?
The new layout introduced unidentified hazards that need immediate assessment

A spike in near-misses following a physical change is a leading indicator that the new layout created new hazards requiring safety reassessment.

6. In Retail Link, what does a '0% In-Stock' reading on a store-item combination most likely indicate?
The item had no on-hand inventory for the entire measurement period

A 0% In-Stock reading means the item recorded zero on-hand units throughout the entire measurement period, signifying a stockout.
