Current order quantity 200 boxes Ordering cost $ 4.00 per order holding costs $ 0.40 per box Annual demand 500 boxes
a. Calculate the annual holding cost plus the annual ordering cost to get the total costs when using an order quantity of 200 boxes. Order quantity 200 Boxes Annual ordering Costs =500 boxes /200 boxes* cost per order Annual ordering Costs =2.5 orders *$4 per order Annual ordering Costs $ 10.00 Annual holding costs = average inventory level* holding cost per unit per year Annual holding costs …show more content…
= order quantity/2*holding cost per unit per year Annual holding costs = 200/2*0.40 Annual holding costs $ 40.00
b. Calculate the EOQ and the total annual cost for this order quantity. EOQ = SQRT(2*Annual demand* cost per order)/ holding cost per unit per year) EOQ = SQRT(2*500*4)/0.40) EOQ 158 boxes Total Annual cost : Holding Costs (158/2*0.40) $ 31.60 Ordering Costs (500/158)*4 $ 12.66 Total Annual cost $ 44.26
