Answer:

The Economic order quantity model is used in inventory management by calculating the number of units a company should add to its inventory with each batch order to reduce the total cost of its inventory. The cost of inventory include holding, setup costs and shortage cost.

The EOQ model finds the Quantity that minimizes the sum of these costs.

Calculation of EOQ:

Determmnce the demand in units
Determine the order cost
Determine the holding cost
Multiply the demnad by 2, then multiply the result by order cot
Dividethe result by holding cost.

EOQ models assumes steady demand os a business product and immediate availability of items to be restocked. It does not account for seasonal or economical fluctuations. It assumes fixed costs of inventory units, ordering charges and holding charges.

Assumptions of EOQ model:

The rate of demand is constant and total demand is known in advance.

The odering cost is constant.

THe unit price of inventory is contant

Delivery time is constant.
