Annual demand (D) = 25000 | ||||||||||
Carrying cost perunit per annum (C ) = $3.00 | ||||||||||
Ordering cost per order (O) = 9 per order | ||||||||||
EOQ = (2DC / O)^2 | ||||||||||
(2*25000*3/9)^2 = 129 units | ||||||||||
Reorder Point = Reorder qty (EOQ) + Lead time consumption | ||||||||||
129 units + (Lead time*Average consumption per day) | ||||||||||
129 + (4*60) = 369 units | ||||||||||
Answer is 369 units | ||||||||||
