Solutions

Expert Solution

For the EOQ model,

Total Annual inventory carrying cost = total annual setup or ordering cost.

So Annual inventory carrying cost = 1/2 * (total annual inventory) = 600/2 = 300.

Average Inventory (Cycle Stock) = EOQ/2 = 200/2 = 100.

Inventory carrying cost per unit per year = 300 / 100 = $ 3 per unit per year.
