    The correct answer is letter "A": ABC analysis is based on the presumption that all items must be tightly controlled to produce important cost savings.

    Explanation:

    ABC analysis is a method to value inventory in a company. "A" items are highly valuable, "B" items have an intermediate value, while "C" items are goods with less importance. The ABC analysis is based on the Pareto principle that 80% of the consumption relies on 20% of valuable items. In such a scenario:

    "A" items (20% value) : provide 80% of consumption "B" items (30% value) : provide 15% of consumption "C" items (50% value) : provide 5% of consumption

    Therefore, ABC analysis has nothing to do with goods costing in an entity.
