Three steps are Step 1: Determine the monetary outcome if the best action is taken using the actual cost input. Step 2: Calculate the monetary outcome based on the best action using the incorrect (predicted) cost input. Step 3: Find the difference between the monetary outcomes from Steps 1 and 2. This difference represents the cost of the prediction error in the context of the EOQ decision model.
