The result is then divided by the number of weighted price categories to arrive at a weighted inventory cost level. For example, the company has 1,000 pieces at $2 each, 2,000 pieces at $2.75 each, and 4,000 pieces at $3 each. One inventory category equals $2,000, another equals $5,500, and the third equals $12,000.
These behaviors can all be linked to a strong belief that has been embedded in human history -- superstitions, according to a Kansas State University professor. Don Saucier, associate professor of psychology, said superstitions are behaviors that people perform in an attempt to affect or control their future.hese behaviors can all be linked to a strong belief that has been embedded in human history -- superstitions, according to a Kansas State University professor.

For a case of this latter point of view, see superstitious behavior. As I, and numerous others, have already previously observed, it is notoriously difficult to define superstition. Therefore, I pity dictionary writers, who are meant to provide an informative, but brief, definition of this slippery concept.Here is how the Dictionary of Psychology edited by Arthur Reber and published by Penguin (2nd ed.) tries to deal with this task:he first thing to notice is that the dictionary divides off superstitious beliefs and practices, only covering the beliefs in this definition and dealing with supserstitious practices in another definition. The reason is to some degree historical being linked to Skinnerâs study of âsuperstitiousâ behaviour in pigeons.
