Question

Problem 10-09 (Algorithmic) Cress Electronic Products manufactures components used in the automotive industry. Cress purchases parts for use in its manufacturing operation from a variety of different suppliers. One particular supplier provides a part where the assumptions of the EOQ model are realistic. The annual demand is 5,300 units, the ordering cost is $70 per order, and the annual holding cost rate is 25%.

Answer 1

The economic order quantity is 385 and reorder point is 254.

Economic order quantity (EOQ)

a. Economic order quantity (EOQ)

EOQ=√2×D×C÷H

Where:

D =Annual Demand

S = Cost of Ordering

H=Holding cost

Hence:

EOQ=√2×5300×70÷.25×20

EOQ=√742,000÷5

EOQ=√148,400

EOQ=385

b. Reorder point

Reorder point=5300/250×12 days

Reorder point=254

c. Reorder point

Reorder point=5300/250×35 days

Reorder point=742

d. Reorder point

Reorder point=742-385

Reorder point=357

Therefore the economic order quantity is 385 and Reorder point is 254.
