Explanation / Answer

Quantity Order = 2000

Annual Quantity Required = Weekly Consumption* No of week in a year

Annual Quantity Required = 2000*52

Annual Quantity Required = 104000

No of Order in a year = Annual Quantity Required / Quantity Order

No of Order in a year = 104000/2000

No of Order in a year = 52

Order Cost = No of Order in a year *Fixed Ordering cost

Order Cost = 52*1000

Order Cost = $ 52,000
