Randoxx Ltd is a manufacturing company which has four main categories of expenditure:
* Category 1: The market of this category is highly innovative and has rapidly changed over the past five years. There are many suppliers who provide similar products at similar price points.
* Category 2: This category of spend is for highly specialised products and it is important to Randoxx that the products are carbon neutral. Because of this, there is a reduced number of suppliers who provide products to this category and Randoxx has little influence over the price that they pay.
* Category 3: This category of spend is for natural resources which are only found in very few parts of the world. Because of this Randoxx imports all of these items from one country abroad and currency fluctuations have a huge impact on the profit margin of this category spend.
* Category 4: This is a highly technical product which has a patent. It is used in the creation of laptops and phones and it would be impossible to make these with a different product. Due to the growing population Randoxx forecasts that demand for this product will increase.
