Explanation / Answer

Annual Cash consumption = $6,800 × 365

= $2,482,000

Optimum Level fo cash = SQRT [ 2 × $2,482,000 × $250 / 2.10%]

= SQRT [$59,095,238,095.24]

= $243,095.12.

Optimum Level fo cash is $243,095.12.

Annual Storage cost = $243,095.12. × 2.10%

= $5,105

Annual Storage cost is $5,105.

Annual Ordering cost = [($6,800 × 365) / $243,095.12] × $250

= 10.21 × $250

= $2,552.50

Annual Ordering cost is $2,552.50.

Total Cost = Annual Storage cost + Annual ordering cost

= $5,105 + $2,552.50

= $7,657.50.

Total Cost is $7,657.50.
