The ideal order size to minimize cost and meet demand is 1,414 with a minimum
cost of Php 53,033 annually.
2. Given the following annual demand, carrying cost, and cost per order, compute
the economic order quantity and total minimum cost. Give your decision analysis.
D = 38,000 units per year
Co = Php2,200 per order
Cc = Php8 per unit per year
The ideal order size to minimize cost and meet demand is 3,233 with a minimum
cost of Php 38,792 annually.
3. An inventory system has an annual ordering cost of Php12,000 per order, an
annual per unit carrying cost of Php35, and an annual demand of 3,000 units
(assuming a 365-day year). Compute the following:
a. Economic order quantity - 1,014
b. Minimum total annual inventory cost – Php 53,245
c. Optimal number of orders per year - 3
d. Optimal time between orders – 8.22 days
e. Give your decision analysis
The ideal order size to minimize cost and meet demand is 1,014
with a minimum cost of Php 53,245 annually. There will be 3
optimal number of orders per year with an ideal interval of 8.22
days between orders.
4. The Alpha Shoe Company purchases leather from Beta Textile Mills. The
Alpha Company uses 15,000 yard of leather per year (365 days) to make shoes.
The cost of ordering leather from the textile company is Php100,000 per order. It
costs Alpha Php30 per yard annually to hold a yard of leather in inventory.
Determine:
a. Optimal number of yards of leather the Alpha Company should order. - 7,071
