Solutions

Expert Solution

15 days
20 days
1.2 days
16.6 days
None of the above

Answer

To compute Expected time between orders :

Given :

Annual Demand	5000
No. of working days per year	300
EOQ (Q*)	250

So , we can compute Number of orders = Annual Demand/EOQ (Q*) = 5000/250 = 20 orders per year.
Expected time between orders = No. of working days per year / number of orders = 300/20 = 15 days.

So answer is option a) 15 days.
