D Question 3 2 pts Every year a bookstore chain sells about 7200 copies of The Art of the Steal. Assume that the assumptions of the EOQ model are satisfied. If the chain orders in quantities of 1800 copies each time it places an order, then: It carries an average inventory of 900 books and orders 4 times a year O It carries an average inventory of 1800 books and orders 4 times a year It carries an average inventory of 900 books and orders 2 times a year It carries an average inventory of 1800 books and orders 3 times a year

Explanation / Answer

Annual demand (D) = 7200 books

Order quantity (Q) = 1800 books

Average inventory = Q/2 = 1800/2 = 900 books

Number of orders per year = D/Q = 7200/1800 = 4 times

So it carries an average inventory of 900 books and orders 4 times a year.
