What revolving fund is used by RSUPPLY activities to stock material, less Ship's Store stock and provisions, as authorized inventory?

• A. NWCF
• B. RSUPPLY FUND
• C. REIMBURSEMENT FUND
• D. OPERATIONS FUND

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that RSUPPLY stocks are financed by a revolving capital fund that finances inventory and is replenished as items are issued. The Naval Working Capital Fund is exactly this type of fund—the capital used to stock material for RSUPPLY activities, less Ship's Store stock and provisions, as authorized inventory. It operates by purchasing stock upfront and recovering the cost through subsequent issues or sales, keeping inventory levels ready to meet demand without relying on annual appropriations. The other funds are used for different purposes and do not serve as the primary revolving stock fund for RSUPPLY inventories.
