Answer:

a) Optimal lot size = 1,118.03

b) Annual total cost = $46.51

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Daily holding cost = $50 × 24% ÷ 300 = $0.04

Optimal lot size = Sqrt (2 × Demand rate × Setup cost ÷ (Daily holding cost × ( 1 - Demand rate ÷ Production cost)))

= Sqrt(2 × 100 × $200 ÷ ($0.04 × (1 - 20 ÷ 100)))

= $1,118.03

b) If the production rate is ignored then optimal lot size :

= Sqrt (2 × 20 × $200 ÷ 1)

= 89.44

Annual total cost = Setup cost+ holding cost

= (Demand rate ÷ Optimal lot size) × Setup cost + (Optimal lot size ÷ 2) × holding cost

= (20 ÷ 89.44) × $200 + 89.44 ÷ 2 ×$0.04

= $44.72 +  $1.79

= $46.51
