Explanation / Answer

ALTON LIMITED

D         =          5000 Units

P          =          $500,

C         =          $7.50

(a)Economic Order Quantity          = [ ( 2 x D x P ) /C ]1/2

                                                            = [ ( 2 x 5000 x 500 ) / 7.50] 1/2

Economic Order Quantity               = 816 Units

(b)Number of orders per year        = Demand / EOQ

                                                            = 5000 / 816

                                                            = 6 Orders per year

WEST INDUSTRIES LIMITED

D         =          12000 Units

P          =          $375

C         =          $4.50

(a)Economic Order Quantity          = [ ( 2 x D x P ) /C ]1/2

                                                            = [ ( 2 x 12000 x 375 ) / 4.5] 1/2

Economic Order Quantity               = 1414 Units

(b)Number of orders per year        = Demand / EOQ

                                                            = 12000 /1414

                                                            = 8 Orders per year

NIAGARA SUPPLIERS LIMITED

D         =          7500 Units

P          =          $425

C         =          $6.75

(a)Economic Order Quantity          = [ ( 2 x D x P ) /C ]1/2

                                                            = [ ( 2 x 7500 x 425 ) / 6.75] 1/2

Economic Order Quantity               = 972 Units

(b)Number of orders per year        = Demand / EOQ

                                                            = 7500 /972
