Use the following information to determine the implied inventory holding cost:
EOQ = 95 units
Demand = 350 units
Fixed Ordering Costs = $5
A. $0.39 B. $12.50 C. $2.58 D. $2.56.

Solution:-
Economic order quantity (EOQ) = Square root of [(2 * Annual demand * Ordering cost per unit) / Holding cost]
Given,
EOQ = 95 units
Demand = 350 units
Fixed ordering cost per unit = $5
95 = Square root of [(2 * 350 * $5) / Holding cost]
95 = Square root of ($3,500 / Holding cost)
Squaring on both sides
$3,500 / Holding cost = 952
Holding cost = $3,500 / 9025
= $0.387 or $0.39 approx
Therefore the implied inventory holding cost is $0.39 which is option A.
