Explanation / Answer

PLEASE FIND BELOW ANSWERS TO FIRST 4 QUESTIONS :

Answer to Question a.1:

Annual demand of cereals = D = 220,000 cases

Ordering cost = Co = $60

Annual Unit inventory holding cost = Ch = 20% of $28 = $5.6

Thus number of cases of cereal food Galore should order ( as per Economic Order Quantity model EOQ )

= Square root ( 2 x Co x D / Ch)

= Square root ( 2 x 60 x 220,000/5.6)

= 2171.24 ( 2171 rounded to nearest whole number )

FOOD GALORE SHOULD ORDER 2171 CASES OF CEREAL

Answer to question a.2:

Average inventory = Economic Order quantity / 2 = 2171/2 = 1085.5

AVERAGE INVENTORY = 1085.5 CASES

Answer to question a.3:

Inventory turnover rate = Annual demand / Average inventory = 220,000/1085.5 = 202.7

Answer to question a.4 :

Total annual cost based on product cost of $28 / unit

= Annual product cost + Annual ordering cost + Annual inventory holding cost

= Annual demand x Unit product cost + Ordering cost x Number of orders + annual unit inventory holding cost x Average inventory

= 220,000 x 28 + Ordering cost x Annual demand/ Economic order quantity + 5.6 x 1085.5

= 220,000 x 28 + 60 x 220,000/2171 + 5.6 x 1085.5

= 616,0000 + 6080.14 + 6078.8

= $628158.94

TOTAL ANNUAL COST = $628158.94

FOOD GALORE SHOULD ORDER 2171 CASES OF CEREAL
