Respuesta :

Answer:

EOQ = 200 units

Explanation:

We can easily calculate the Economic order quantity by putting values EOQ formula. All you need is the data for calculation.

DATA

Annual demand = 8,000

Ordering cost = $50

Holding cost = $20

EOQ =?

Formula

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]

Where

Co = Ordering cost

D = Demand

Ch = Holding cost

Solution

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{{2(50)(8000)} }{20}}[/tex]

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{800000}{20} }[/tex]

EOQ = 200 units
