Answer:
B: 522 tires
B: 39 orders
Explanation:
a. Calculation for EOQ
First step is to Calculate the Annual Demand which is D
D = Annual demand = (2 tires per bicycle) x (850 bicycles per month) x (12 months in a year)
D=20,400 tires
Second step the ordering cost is given in the question which is :
S = Ordering cost = 90 per order
Third step is to Calculate the carrying cost which is H
H = carrying cost = (15%) x ($60 per unit)
H= $ 13.50 per unit per year
Last step is to Calculate the EOQ
EOQ = √{ (2 x 20,400 x $90) / $13.50
EOQ= 522 tires
Therefore the EOQ is 522 tires which means that the company should order 522 tires each time they places an order.
b. Calculation for the number of orders per year
Using this formula
Number of orders per year = D / Q
Let plug in the formula
Number of orders per year = 20,400 / 522
Number of orders per year = 39 orders per year
Therefore the Number of orders per year will be
39 orders per year.
