Demand for a product satisfying EOQ assumptions is 2000 units / year. Purchase price is $10 /unit. Ordering cost is $100 and holding cost is $2.0/unit / year. If you buy 1000 or more units in one lot (order), the dealer gives you 2% discount (which is all-unit discount) and the unit purchase price is $9.8 as shown in the below table.
