Answer:

EOQ is 322 units..........

Explanation:

Annual usage = 3600 kg (A)

Ordering Cost = 36 (S)

Carrying Cost = 25% of 10 = 2.5 (I)

EOQ = Square root of 2AS / I

2*3600*36/2.5 square root = 322 units

Concept :

Economic Order Quantity - The economic order quantity (EOQ) is the amount of inventory that a company should order in order to keep its overall ordering, receiving, and holding costs as low as possible.

It is Calculated as:

EOQ = square root of (2DS / H)

where,

D=Demand in units (typically on an annual basis)

S=Order cost (per purchase order)

H=Holding costs (per unit, per year)

Economic Order Time - It is calculated as follows

EOT = 365/no. of orders

Given:

  • D = 3600
  • S = 36
  • H = 0.25 X 10 = 2.5

Find: Economic order time

Solution:

EOQ = square root of ( 2x3600x36/2.5)

EOQ = 322 units

No. of orders = 3600/ 322 =11 orders

EOT = 365/ 11

EOT = 33 days

Hence, we can conclude that the optimal reorder time is 33 days.
