Respuesta :

Answer:

Total annual inventory cost = $1,487.56

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Ordering cost = $35

Ordering quantity = 90 gallons

Price = $4.00

Holding cost = 40% × $4 = $1.6 per unit per year

Weekly demand = 70 gallons

No. of weeks in a year = 52

Yearly demand = 52 × 70

= 3,640

Numbers of orders = 3,640 ÷ 90

= 40.444

Total ordering cost = 40.444 × $35

= 1,415.56

Inventory holding cost = (90 ÷ 2) × $1.6

= $72

Hence total annual inventory cost = 1,415.56 + $72

= $1,487.56

The annual index cost is the whole expense of annual holdings and yearly service charges.

The total annual inventory cost will be $1,487.56

This can be estimated by:

Given,

  • Cost of ordering = $35

  • Ordering number = 90 gallons

  • Price = $4.00

Cost of holding = [tex]40\% \times \$4 = \$1.6 \; \text{per unit per year}[/tex]

Weekly needs = 70 gallons

Number of weeks in a year = 52

Yearly demand = [tex]52 \times 70 = 3,640[/tex]

Numbers of orders = [tex]\dfrac{ 3640}{90} = 40.444[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total ordering price} = 40.444 \times \$35 = 1,415.56[/tex]

[tex]\text{Inventory holding amount} = \dfrac{90}{2} \times $1.6 = \$72[/tex]

Total inventory cost = 1,415.56 + $72 = $1,487.56

Therefore, the total annual inventory cost will be $1,487.56
