Universal Bikes is a manufacturing company that uses gear assemblies to produce four different
models of mountain bikes. One of these gear assemblies, the "Smooth Shifter," is used for the
two most expensive models, and has an estimated annual demand of960 units. The Boilermakers
estimates the cost to place an order is $150, and the holding cost for each assembly is $25 per
month.
a25 dollar monthly holding cost to yearly cost12=80 units
Annual Ordering Cost:
Annual Ordering Cost = Number of Orders Ordering Cost (S)
=12150=1,800
Annual Holding Cost:
Average Inventory =Q??2
Average Inventory =802=40 units
Annual Holding Cost = Average Inventory Annual Holding Cost per Unit (H)
Annual Holding Cost =40300=12,000
Total Inventory Cost (without EOQ):
Total Inventory Cost = Annual Ordering Cost + Annual Holding Cost
=1,800+12,000=13,800

Optimal Order Quantity (Q*): Q*=?2(2960150300)
=?2960=96 units
Order Cycle (T)(in months):
Order Cycle =Q*??D12
T=96??96012=1.2 months
Annual Inventory Cost using EOQ:
Annual Ordering Cost:
Annual Ordering Cost =D??Q*S
=96096150=1,500
Annual Holding Cost:
Annual Holding Cost =Q*2H
=962300=14,400
Total Inventory Cost (using EOQ):
Total Inventory Cost = Annual Ordering Cost + Annual Holding Cost
=1,500+14,400=15,900
