Explanation / Answer

Total carrying costs:

= 300×$25

= $7,500

Total restocking costs:

= 52×$60

= $3,120

Economic ordering quantity:

= (2×Annual requirement×buying cost per order÷Carrying cost per unit)^(1÷2)

= (2×300×52×$60÷$25)^(1÷2)

= 273.64 units

It should reduce order size to 273.64 units.

Number of orders (New) = 300×52÷273.64 = 57 Orders
