Answer:

a.Economic Order Quantity =  4,000 units

b.Total Inventory Cost =  $7,200

Explanation:

Economic Order Quantity = √(2×Annual Demand×Set-up Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per Unit

                                          = √(2×40,000×$180×2)/($12×15%)

                                          =  √16,000,000

                                          =  4,000

Total Inventory Cost = Set Up Cost + Holding Cost

                                  = ((40,000/4,000)×($180×2))+((4,000/2)×($12×15%))

                                  = $3,600 + $3,600

                                  = $7,200
