Answer:

the answer is =32291.67.

The firm should take the advantage of the new quantity as the total cost is lesser as compared with the  old supplier. the firm can save $340 by approximately taking the advantage of the new quantity discount.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The Annual demand D = 5000 boxes

The Cost C = $6.4 per each box

The Carrying cost H = 25% of the unit cost = 0.25*6.4 = 1.6

The ordering costs S = $25.00

Now,

EOQ =√2DS/H

EOQ =√(2*5000 * 25)/1.6

Thus,

EOQ =Q = 395.28

The Total cost = DC + (Q/2)H + (D/Q)S

= 5000*6.4 + (395.28 /2) 1.6 + (5000/395.28)25

Then,

T = 32000 + 316.23 + 316.23

= 32632.46

So,

The new supplier has offered to sell the same item for the amount of  $6.00 if Q = 3,000 boxes

Hence,

The total cost = 5000 * 6 + (3000/2)1.5 + (5000/3000)25

= 30000 + 2250 + 41.67

= 32291.67

Therefore, The firm should take the  advantage of the new quantity as the total cost is lesser as compared with the  old supplier. the firm can save $340 by approximately taking the advantage of the new quantity discount.
