Answer:
a. 166 units should be ordererd of brackets
b. They have when they should place a new order with the supplier 10 brackets
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Annual Demand= 850 brackets
Buying cost=$10
carrying cost=13%×$10=$1.30
ordering cost per order=$21
a. To calculate how many brackets should be ordered when WCU places an order with their supplier we have to calculate the EOQ as follows:
EOQ=√<u>2AO</u>
C
EOQ=√<u>2×850×21</u>
1-30
EOQ=166 Units
166 units should be ordererd of brackets
b. To calculate how many brackets do they have when they should place a new order with the supplier we would habe to make the following calculation:
Reorder point=<u>Annual Demand </u> × lead time
working days in year
Reorder point=<u>850 × </u> 3
250
=10 brackets
They have when they should place a new order with the supplier 10 brackets
