Explanation / Answer

Economic order quantity = Square root over ( 2 times annual demand * order cost / carrying cost)

= square root over * ( 2 * 15500 * 22 / 0.04 ) = 4129.16

Safety stock = 4000 nails

First order = Safety stock + EOQ = 4000 + 4129.16 = 8129.16

Question - 2

Available balance = 10500 - 6000 = 4500

Book balance = 10500 ............ since, 6000 was not yeat cleared

Net float = Book balance - available balance = 10500 - 4500 = 6000
