CHAPTER 2 ACTIVITY

EOQ AND REORDER POINT

1. Pane Company has developed the following data to assist in controlling one of its material
inventory items:
Economic order quantity 1,000 liters
Average daily usage 100 liters
Maximum daily usage 120 liters
Working days per year 250 days
Safety stock 140 liters
Cost of carrying inventory P1.00 per liter per year
Lead time 7 working days

QUESTIONS:
a) What is the reorder point?
Reorder Point = (Average Daily Usage x Lead Time) + Safety Stock
(100 x 7 days) + 140
= 840 liters

b) What is the average inventory?


Average Inventory = EOQ/2
1000/2
= 500 liters

c) What is the maximum inventory assuming normal lead time and usage?
Maximum Inventory = (Order Point – Normal Time Usage) + EOQ
(840-700) + 1,000
= 1,140 liters

d) What is the cost of placing one order?


Cost of Placing one order = EOQ = √2 x 25,000 OC
1
1,000 = √ 50,000 OC
1
1,000,000 = 50,000
50, 000 50,000
Ordering Cost- P20

2. Jelsen Company sells educational toys. One raw material that it orders is plastic. The plastic
is melted and placed in molds to be used for the production of various toys. Information
pertaining to the plastic raw material is as follows:

Economic order quantity 50,000 pounds


Average daily usage 5,000 pounds
Maximum daily usage 8,000 pounds
Lead time 5 days

QUESTIONS:
a) What is the reorder point assuming no safety stock is carried?
Reorder Point (no safety stocks) = Normal Lead Time x Average Usage
5 days x 5,000
= 25,000 units

b) Should the company decide to carry safety stock, how many units should that be?
Safety Stock = (Maximum Usage – Normal Lead Time) Average Usage
(8,000 – 5,000) x 5 days
3,000 x 5 days
= 15,000 units
c) What is the reorder point assuming that safety stock is carried?
Reorder Point (safety stocks required) = Safety Stock x Normal Lead Time
15,000 + 25,000
= 40,000 units
