Answer:
$3,412
Explanation:
The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{120,000}\times \text{\$84}}{\text{\$2.31}}}[/tex]
= 2,954 units
The carrying cost is
= $15.40 × 15%
= $2.31
The number of orders would be equal to
= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity
= 120,000 ÷ 2,954 units
= 40.62 orders
Now The total cost of ordering cost is
Ordering cost = Number of orders × ordering cost per order
= 40.62 orders × $ 84
= $3,412
