In this case, D =1,200 components/month *12 months =14,400 components per year
S = $25/order
H =20% of $2.00
Therefore, EOQ=
$0.4/component per year
21,440,0250.4
=1,500components
2. Total Annual Inventory-Holding and Ordering Costs: This is the sum of the annual holding costs and the annual ordering costs. Annual Holding Costs =(EOQ/2) H =(1,500/2)0.4= $300
Annual Ordering Costs =(D/EOQ) S (14,400/1,500)25= $240
Total Annual Inventory-Holding and Ordering Costs = $300+ $240= $540
3. Reorder Point: This is the level of inventory which triggers an order for the economic order quantity. It can be calculated using the formula:
Reorder Point = Lead Time Demand
where:
Lead Time Demand = Demand rate per day * Lead time in days
In this case, Demand rate per day = D / number of working days per year =14,400/250=57.6 components per day Lead time =5 days
