Explanation / Answer

EOQ = SQRT(2 × Annual Demand × Cost Per Order / Carrying Cost Per Order)

Annual demand = 675*12 = 8100

EOQ = SQRT(2*8100*50/5) = 402

We can use Baker Manufacturing as in 400-799 range their cost is lowest.

c) Optimal order quantity = 402

Number of orders = 81000 / 402 = 201.49 or 202

Annual ordering cost = 202*50 = $ 10,100

Total cost for orders = 81000*15.60 = 1263600
