Explanation / Answer

A.

EOQ = (2*annual demand*ordering cost/holding cost)^.5

EOQ = (2*2490*19.25/1.6)^.5

EOQ = 244.78 units

B.

Average inventory = EOQ/2 = 244.78/2 = 122.39 units

Annual inventory holding cost = Average inventory*holding cost per unit per year

Annual inventory holding cost = 122.39*1.6 = $195.82

C.

No. of orders made annually = Annual demand / EOQ = 2490/244.78 = 10.17 orders

Annual ordering cost = 10.17*19.25 = $195.77

D.

Total annual cost of managing = Annual inventory holding cost + Annual ordering cost

Total annual cost of managing = 195.82+195.77

Total annual cost of managing = $391.59

E.

Time between orders = 250/10.17 = 24.58 days

F.

ROP = Daily demand * Lead time = (2490/250)*2 = 19.92 units
