2. Calculate the economic quantity (EOQ) 3. Use the formula given in item #3 and the information provided in item #4 of the handout and calculate the optimum number of cases necessary for each order. 4. Show your calculations on the sheet. The square root sign covers both the numerator and the denominator. 5.
