What is the annual total inventory management costs of cheese inventory.
Round the answer to two decimals
Optimal order quantity | = | [ 2* annual demand* cost per order/ holding cost per unit per year] ^1/2 |
Optimal order quantity | = | [2 *12266*17/3.44] ^1/2 |
= | 348.19 | |
Number of orders | = | 12266/348.186330763045 |
35.23 | ||
Ordering cost | = | 35.2282640536728*17 |
= | 598.8804889 | |
Holding cost | = | 348.186330763045/2 *3.44 |
598.8804889 | ||
Total cost | = | 598.880488912437+598.880488912437 |
= | 1197.760978 |
Answer is:
1197.76
