A)Find EOQ without considering the offer for discount
B)Calculate Re-order point taking 1 month =30Working days
C)Tabulate different types of cost as also effect of discount on different order sizes taking 1,2,3,………
Solution
Solution-
A) EOQ = √2AS
C
where
A = Annual usuage =1800*12=21,600 units
S = Cost of processing an order =Rs 5
C = Carrying cost per unit=Rs0.20
EOQ = √2*21600*5
0.2
B) Reorder point=
Safety stock +Consumption during lead time
1/2(1800/30*2)+(1800/30*2)Units
= 60+120= 180 units
