Question

Louise Manufacturing uses 2,700 switch assemblies per week and then reorders another 2,700. The relevant carrying cost per switch assembly is $11.00, and the fixed order cost is $1,350. What are the current carrying costs? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Carrying costs $ What are the order costs? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Order costs $ Calculate the economic order quantity. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) EOQ

Explanation / Answer

carring cost = Average inventoryin period * carring cost per unit for the period

=(0+2700)/2)*11

= 14850

Order cost =1350

EOQ= SQRT(2*quantity*cost per order/carring cost per orer

= SQRT((2*2700*1350)/11)

= 814.08

  

* carring cost is $11 per unit per week
