Pullman carries a part that is popular in the manufacture of automatic sprayers. Demand for this part is 4,000
units per year; order costs amount to P30 per order, and holding costs total P1.50 per unit. Pullman currently
places four orders per year with its suppliers.

Management is considering the implementation of an economic order quantity model in an effort to better
manage its inventories.

Required:
7) Compute Pullman's economic order quantity.
8) Compute total annual inventory costs if Pullman follows the EOQ policy.

The EOQ can be figured by taking the square root of: (2 x annual requirement x cost per order) ÷ annual
holding cost per unit. The square root of (2 x 4,000 x P30) ÷ P1.50, or 160,000, is 400.

The ordering cost is based on 10 orders (4,000 units ÷ 400 units) x P30, and totals P300; the holding cost is
computed on Pullman’s average inventory of 200 units (400 ÷ 2) and amounts to $300 (200 x $1.50). Thus,
costs at the EOQ total $600 ($300 +
