​

Answer 1

Answer:

2000

Explanation:

Given:

Annual DEMAND, D = 1,000,000

Holding cost, H = (I * C)

Cost per order, S = 80

Unit cost, C = 160

Holding cost (%) = 25% = 0.25

The Economic order quantity :

EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / (I * C)]

EOQ = √[(2 * 1000000 * 80) / (0.25 * 160)]

EOQ = √[(160000000) / 40]

EOQ = √4000000

EOQ = 2000
