Solution :

The optimal order quantity, EOQ = $\sqrt{\frac{2 \times \text{demand}\times \text{ordering cost}}{\text{holding cost}}}$

EOQ = $\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 2000 \times 12}{3.6}}$

        = 115.47

The expected number of orders = $\frac{\text{demand}}{EOQ}$

                                                      $=\frac{2000}{115.47}$

                                                      = 17.32

The daily demand = demand / number of working days

                               $=\frac{2000}{240}$

                              = 8.33

The time between the orders = EOQ / daily demand

                                                 $=\frac{115.47}{8.33}$

                                                  = 13.86 days

ROP  = ( Daily demand x lead time ) + safety stock

        $=(8.33 \times 8)+10$

         = 76.64

The annual holding cost = $\frac{EOQ}{2} \times \text{holding cost}$

                                         $=\frac{115.47}{2} \times 3.6$

                                         = 207.85

The annual ordering cost = $\frac{\text{demand}}{EOQ} \times \text{ordering cost}$

                                           $=\frac{2000}{115.47} \times 12$

                                           = 207.85

So the total inventory cost = annual holding cost + annual ordering cost

                                            = 207.85 + 207.85

                                            = 415.7
