Explanation / Answer

11)

Economic Order Quantity = (2AO/c)^(1/2)

Economic Order Quantity = (2*312000*114.50/(4.50/60+25*15%))^(1/2)

Economic Order Quantity = 4321.95 Unit

Economic Order Quantity in package = 4321.95/60

Economic Order Quantity in package = 72.03 Package

12)

Annual total required package = 312000/60 = 5200

Annual relevant ordering costs = Annual total required package/Economic Order Quantity in package * Ordering cost

Annual relevant ordering costs = 5200/72.03 * 114.50

Annual relevant ordering costs = 8266

13)

Annual relevant carrying costs = (72.03*60/2)*(4.5/60+25*15%)

Annual relevant carrying costs = $ 8265

14)

The relevant total costs = 8266+8265

The relevant total costs = $ 16531

15)

No of deliveries = Annual total required package/Economic order quantity

No of deliveries = 5200/72.03

No of deliveries = 72.19 deliveries
