Question

Based on the constant demand assumption in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, the average cycle inventory is: Question 20 options: the order quantity divided by the number of inventory cycles per year. the annual demand divided by the number of inventory cycles per year. half of the order quantity. half of the annual usage.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. half of the order quantity

Explanation:

Based on the constant demand assumption in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, the average cycle inventory is half of the order quantity

Economic order quantity is a quantity which minimizes the ordering cost and holding cost  

Q = EOQ = $\sqrt{2*D*S/ H}$ where  D = Demand unit, S = Order cost and H = Holding cost

- Ordering cost and the Holding at EOQ will be same

- Average inventory = Q/2

- Average inventory is the half of the order quantity.
