Solutions

Expert Solution

DEMAND = 37000
ORDERING COST = 23
HOLDING COST = 0.2024
COST PER UNIT = 0.88

EOQ = SQRT(2 * ANNUAL DEMAND * ORDERING COST / HOLDING COST PER UNIT) = SQRT(2 * 37000 * 23 / 0.2024) = 2900

ANNUAL HOLDING COST = (EOQ / 2) * HOLDING COST PER UNIT = (2900 / 2) * 0.2024 = 293.48

ANNUAL ORDERING COST = (DEMAND / EOQ) * ORDERING COST = (37000 / 2900) * 23 = 293.45

ANNUAL MATERIAL COST = ANNUAL DEMAND * PRICE PER UNIT = 37000 * 0.88 = 32560

TOTAL COST OF INVENTORY = ANNUAL HOLDING COST + ANNUAL ORDERING COST + ANNUAL MATERIAL COST = 293.48 + 293.45 + 32560 = 33146.93


USING 5900 UNITS AS ORDERING QUANTITY

ANNUAL HOLDING COST = (5900 / 2) * 0.1886 = 556.37
ANNUAL ORDERING COST = (37000 / 5900) * 23 = 144.24
TOTAL COST OF PURCHASING = 37000 * 0.82 = 30340
ANNUAL TOTAL COST = ANNUAL HOLDING COST + ANNUAL ORDERING COST + ANNUAL COST OF MATERIAL = 556.37 + 144.24 + 30340 = 31040.61


OPTIMAL ORDER QUANTITY = 5900 UNITS
