Answer:
If CUI buys at $0.82 per pound
Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds
Ordering cost per order (Co) = $30
Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.82 = $0.164
EOQ = √2DCo
H
EOQ = √2 x 50,000 x $30
$0.164
EOQ = 4,277 units
The solution is not feasible since 4,277 units could not be bought at $0.82 per pound.
If CUI buys at $0.81 per pound
Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds
Ordering cost per order (Co) = $30
Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.81 = $0.162
EOQ = √2DCo
H
EOQ = √2 x 50,000 x $30
$0.162
EOQ = 4,303 units
Total cost for 4,303 units
= DCo + QH + P x D
Q 2
= 50,000 x $30 + 4,303 x $0.162 + $0.81 x 50,000
4,303 2
= $348.59 + $348.54 + $40,500
= $41,197.13
If CUI buys at $0.80 per pound
Annual demand (Co) = 50,000 pounds
Ordering cost per order (Co) = $30
Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 20% x $0.80 = $0.16
EOQ = √2DCo
H
EOQ = √2 x 50,000 x $30
$0.16
EOQ = 4,330 units
The solution is not feasible since 4,330 units could not be bought at $0.80 per pound. Thus, EOQ is 5,001 units.
Total cost for 5,001 units
= DCo + QH + P x D
Q 2
= 50,000 x $30 + 5,001 x $0.16 + $0.80 x 50,000
5,001 2
= $299.94 + $400.08 + $40,000
= $40,700.02
Thus, EOQ equals 5,001 units because the quantity minimises the total cost.
Explanation:
EOQ is a function of square root of 2 multiplied by annual demand and ordering cost per order divided by holding cost per item per annum.
Since this question involves discounts, there is need to calculate EOQ at various discount levels. Holding cost is a function of price. For instance, when price is $0.82, holding cost is 20% of $0.82.
We will calculate the EOQ at various prices and corresponding total cost. Finally, we will consider the quantity that minimizes the total cost. Thus, EOQ equals 5,001 units.
