a. |
4180 units |
|
b. |
300 units |
|
c. |
418 units |
|
d. |
1200 units |
Economic order quantity (EOQ) = [(2 * demand * ordering cost) / holding cost]^1/2
Economic order quantity (EOQ) = [(2 * 10000 * 35) / 4]^1/2
Economic order quantity (EOQ) = [700,000 / 4]^1/2
Economic order quantity (EOQ) = [175,000]^1/2
Economic order quantity (EOQ) = 418 units
