A company uses CR = Kshs. 10,000 worth of an item during the year. The ordering costs are C = Kshs. 25 per order and carrying charges are I = 12.5% = 0.125 of the average inventory value. Find:
i. The economic order quantity is EOQ = (2C*CR/I)^0.5 = (2*25*10,000/0.125)^0.5 = 2,000.
ii. Number of orders per year is n = CR/EOQ = 10,000/2,000 = 5.
iii. Time period per order is t = 1/n = 1/5 = 0.2 year = 73 days.
iv. The total cost is TC = CR + VC = CR + (2C*I*CR)^0.5 = 10,000 + (2*25*0.125*10,000)^0.5 = 10,000 + 250 = 10,250.
