1. A Company manufactures 5000 units of a product per month. The cost of placing an order
is ₹100. The purchase price of the raw material is ₹10 per kg. The re-order period is 4 to 8
weeks. The consumption of raw materials varies from 100 kg to 450 kg per week, the
average consumption being 275 kg. The carrying cost of inventory is 20% per annum.
You are required to Calculate: -

a) Re-Order Quantity.
b) Re-Order Level.
c) Maximum Level.
d) Minimum Level.
e) Average Stock Level.
(Nov. 2002, May 2006, Nov 2018, ICAI SM, Modified Nov. 2022, MTP July 2021)
Ans. a) Re-Order Quantity;
When price discount is not involved re-order quantity should be such a quantity of
ordering/order at which the total cost of ordering and carrying inventory p.a. is the
least. This is known as EOQ.
Calculate as under: -
2AO
EOQ; =√
C
✓ A = Annual Requirement = Avg. Consumption per week × 52 weeks.
= 275 kg. week × 52 weeks
= 14,300 kgs.
✓ O = Ordering Cost/Order = ₹ 100 per order
✓ P= Price per unit = ₹ 10 per kg.
✓ C = Stock Holding rate p.a. = 20 %
✓ C = Carrying Cost/unit p.a. = ₹ 10 × 20% = ₹ 2
2×14,300×100
=√ 2
= √14,30,000
= 1,196 kgs (approx. )
b) Re-Order Level; = Maximum Usage × Maximum Lead Time

= 450 kgs. per week × 8 week
= 3,600 kgs.
c) Maximum Level; = Reorder Level + Reorder Qty – (Minimum Usage × Minimum
Lead Time)
= 3,600 kg. + 1,196 kg. - (100 kgs per week × 4 weeks)
= 4,796 kgs.−400 kgs.
= 4,396 kgs.
d) Minimum Level; Re-order Level−(Average Usage × Average Lead Time)
100+450 4+8
= 3,600 kgs - [( 2 ) + ( 2 )]
= 3,600− (275 ×6)
= 3,600− 1,650
=1,950 kgs.

Weekly production varies from 550 to 1,250 units, averaging 900 units of the said
product. What would be the following quantities:-
a) Minimum Stock of A?
b) Maximum Stock of B?
c) Re-Order level of C?
d) Average Stock level of A?

www.escholars.in
e) Re-Order Level of D?
f) Minimum Stock Level of D?
(RTP Nov. 2020, ICAI SM, Modified Nov. 2022)

Ans. a) Minimum Stock of A;
Re-Order Level− (Average Consumption × Average Time Required to obtain delivery)
= 60,000 kg. – (900 units × 12 kg. × 3 weeks)= 27,600 kg.
b) Maximum Stock of B;
Re-Order Level + Re-Order Quantity – (Minimum. Consumption × Minimum Re-Order
Period.)
= 70,000 kg. + 8,000 kg− (550 Units × 8 kg × 5 weeks).
= 78,000−22,000=56,000 kg.
c) Re-Order Level of C;
Maximum Re-Order Period × Maximum Usage
= 7 weeks × (1,250 Units × 6 Kg.) = 52,500 kg.
OR
= Minimum Stock Level of C + (Average Consumption × Average delivery time)
= 25,500 kg + [(900 units × 6 kg) × 5 weeks] = 52,500 kg.
d) Average Stock Level of A;

Minimum Stock Level + Maximum Stock Level
= 2
(Refer to Working Note)
27,600+58,800
= = 43,200 kg.

Working Notes: -
Maximum Stock of A = ROL + ROQ− (Minimum Consumption × Minimum Re-Order
Period.)
= 60,000 kg + 12,000 kg – [(550 units × 12 kg.) × 2 weeks] = 58,800 kg.
e) Re-Order Level of D;
Maximum Re-Order Period × Maximum Usage
= 3 weeks × (1,250 units × 5 kg) = 18,750 kg
f) Minimum Stock of D;
Re-Order Level−(Average Consumption × Average time required to obtain delivery)
= 18,750 kg. – (900 units × 5 kg. × 2 weeks) = 9,750 kg.

*Since number of orders cannot be in decimals, thus 12.5 orders are taken as 13 orders,
2.5 are taken as 3 order and 1.66 orders are taken as 2 orders.
The above table shows that the total cost of 5,000 units including ordering and carrying
cost is minimum (₹59,22,000) when the order size is 1,000 units. Hence the most
economical purchase level is 1,000 units.
b) If there are no discounts offered then the purchase quantity should be equal to EOQ.
The EOQ is as follows;
2 AO
EOQ = √ C
Where,
A = annual inventory requirement,
O= Ordering cost per order and
C= Carrying Cost per unit per annum.
2×5,000 units×₹ 1,200

=√ 20%×₹ 1,500
= 200 units
5. KL Limited produces product ‘M’ Which has a quarterly demand of 8,000 units. The product
requires 3 kgs. Quantity of material ‘X’ for every finished unit of product. The other
information are follows;
✓ Cost of material ‘X’ = ₹ 20 per kg.

✓ Cost of placing an order = 1,000 per order
✓ Carrying Cost = 15% per annum of average inventory
You are required: -

a) Calculate the Economic Order Quantity for Material ‘X’.
b) Should the company accept an offer of 2 percent discount by the supplier, if they want
to supply the annual requirement of material ‘X’ in 4 equal quarterly Instalments?
(May 2012, Modified Nov. 2019, Modified MTP Nov 2020)
Ans. Annual demand of material ‘X’
= 8000 units (per quarter) × 4 (No. of Quarter in a year) × 3 kgs. (for every finished product)
= 96,000 kgs.

8,000 kgs 24,000 kgs
Purchase Cost per kg. ₹ 20 (20− 2% ₹ 20) = ₹ 19.60
Total Purchase Cost (A) (96,000 kgs.× ₹ 20) (96,000 kgs.× 19.6)
= ₹ 19,20,000 = ₹ 18,81,600
Ordering Cost (B) 12 orders × ₹ 1000 4 orders × ₹ 1,000
= ₹ 12,000 = ₹ 4,000
Carrying Cost (C) 8,000 kgs
× 15% × 20

= ₹ 12,000 = ₹ 35,280
Total Cost (A+B+C) ₹ 19,44,000 ₹ 19,20,880
Advice: -
The total Cost is lower if Company accept an offer at 2% discount by the supplier, when
supply of the annual requirement of material ‘X’ is made in 4 equal instalments. Hence, the
company should accept the offer of 2% discount.

e) Value of Components used during the month January, 20X2.
f) Inventory turnover ratio.
(ICAI SM, RTP May 2020)

Ans. Calculation: -
a) Re-Order Level;
= Maximum Usage × Maximum lead time

= 4,500 units × 21 days = 94,500 units
b) Maximum Stock Level;
= Re − order level + Re − order Quantity − (Min. Usage × Min. lead time)

= 94,500 Units + 10,000 units − (1,500 units × 13 days)
= 1,04,500 units − 19,500 units = 85,000 units.
c) Minimum Stock Level;
= Re − order level − (Average Consumption × Average lead time)

= 94,500 units − (3,000 units × 17days)
= 94,500 units − 52,500 units

b) Advise, how frequently company should order for procurement be placed.
c) If the company proposes to rationalize placement of orders on quarterly basis, what
percentage of discount in the price of raw materials should be negotiated?
Assume 360 days in a year.
(May 2014, Modified Nov 2020, Modified MTP May 2020)

Ans. a) Economic Order Quantity;
2 AO
EOQ = √ C
2×40,000 ×750
=√ 15
= 2,000 kg.
A = Annual units required

1,00,000
= 2.5
= 40,000 kg.
Ordering Cost = O = 370 + 380 = ₹ 750
Carrying Cost = C = 12 + 3= 15
(∵ Incremental carrying cost = 0.25 p.m. / per kg.)

www.escholars.in
b) Computation of days of placing Next Order;
For 40,000 units – 360 days

For 2,000 units − ? days
2,000×360
Days required = 40,000
= 18 days.
Alternative;
Frequency of placing orders for procurement;
Annual Consumption (A) = 40,000 kg.

Quantity per order (E.O.Q) = 2,000 kg.
A 40,000 kg
No. of orders per annum (E.O.Q) = 2,000 𝑘𝑔 = 20 orders.
360 days
Frequency of placing orders (in days) = 20 orders
= 18 days
c) Percentage of discount in the price of raw materials to be negotiated:

1) Annual Usage (in kg.) 40,000 kg. 40,000 kg.
2) Size of the order 10,000 kg. 2,000 kg.
3) No. of orders (1÷2) 4 20
4) Cost of placing orders or ₹ 3000 ₹ 15,000
Ordering cost (No. of orders × (4 orders × ₹ 750) (20 orders × ₹ 750)
Cost per order)
5) Inventory Carrying Cost ₹ 75,000 ₹ 15,000
(Average inventory × Carrying (10,000 kg × ½ × ₹15) (2,000 kg × ½ × ₹15)
cost per unit)
6) Total Cost (4 + 5) ₹ 78,000 ₹ 30,000
When order is placed on quarterly basis the ordering cost and carrying cost increased
by ₹ 48,000 (₹ 78,000− ₹ 30,000).
So, discount required = ₹ 48,000
Total annual purchase = 40,000 kg. × ₹ 80 = ₹ 32,00,000.
Therefore, Percentage of discount to be negotiated
₹ 48,000
= ₹ 32,00,000 × 100 = 1.5%.

1) Advantages of ABC analysis: - The advantages of ABC analysis are the following: -
a) Continuity in production: - It ensures that, without there being any danger of

interruption of production for want of materials or stores, minimum investment
will be made in inventories of stocks of materials or stocks to be carried.
b) Lower Cost: - The Cost of placing orders, receiving goods and maintaining stocks
is minimised specially if the system is coupled with the determination of proper
economic order quantities.

www.escholars.in
c) Less attention required: - Management time is saved since attention need to be
paid only to some of the items rather than all the items, as would be the case if the
ABC system was not in operation.
d) Systematic working: - With the introduction of the ABC system, much of the work
connected with purchases can be systematized on a routine basis, to be handled by
subordinate staff.

1) 15 number of varieties of inventory items should be classified as ‘A’ category

items because of the following reasons;
a) Constitute 0.375% of total number of varieties of inventory handled by stores of

factory. Which is minimum as per given classification in the table.
b) 50% of total use value of inventory holding (average), which is maximum,
according to the given table.
c) Highest in consumption, about 85% of inventory usage (in end-product).
2) 110 number of varieties of inventory items should be classified as ‘B’ category

a) Constitute 2.750% of the total number of varieties of inventory items handled by

stores of factory.
b) Requires moderate investment of about 30% of total use value of inventory
holding (average).
c) Moderate in consumption, about 10% of inventory usage (in end-product)
3) 3,875 number of varieties of inventory items should be classified as ‘C’ category

a) Constitute 96.875% of total varieties of inventory items handled by stores of

✓ April 475 23 550
✓ May 500 25 800
✓ June 600 30 400

www.escholars.in
Required: -
a) The Chief Accountant argues that the value of closing stock remains the same no matter
which method of pricing of material issues is used. Do you agree? Why or why not?
Explain. Detailed stores ledgers are not required.
b) State When and Why would you recommend the LIFO method of pricing material
issues?
(ICAI SM)
Ans. a) Total number of units purchase = 2,500
✓ Total number of units issued = 2,300
✓ The Closing Stock at the end of six months’ period i.e., on 30th June, 202X will be
200 units.
✓ Up to the end of May 202X, total purchases coincide with the total issues i.e., 1,900
units. It means that at the end of May 202X, there was no closing stock. In the month
of June 202X, 600 units were purchased out of which 400 units were issued. Since
there was only one purchase and one issue in the month of June, 202X and there
was no opening Stock on 1st June 202X, the Closing Stock of 200 units is to be valued
at ₹30 per unit.
✓ In the view of this, the argument of the Chief Accountant appears to be correct.
Where there is only one purchase and one issue in a month with no opening Stock,
the method of pricing of material issues becomes irrelevant. Therefore, in the given
case one should agree with the argument of the Chief Accountant that the value of
closing stock remains the same no matter which method of pricing the issue is used.
✓ It may, however, be noted that the argument of Chief Accountant would not stand if
one finds the value of the Closing Stock at the end of each month.
b) LIFO method has an edge over FIFO or any other method of pricing material issues
due to the following advantages;
✓ The Cost of the materials issued will be either nearer or will reflect the current
market price. Thus, the cost of goods produced will be related to the trend of the
market price of materials. Such a trend in price of materials enables the matching
of cost of production with current sales revenues.
✓ The use of the method during the period of rising prices does not reflect undue
high profit in the income statement, as it was under the first-in-first-out or average
method. In fact, the profit shown here is relatively lower because the cost of
production takes into account the rising trend of material prices.
✓ In the case of falling prices. Profit trends to rise due to lower material cost, yet the
finished products appear to be more competitive and are at market price.
During the period of inflation, LIFO will tend to show the correct profit and thus, avoid
paying undue taxes to some extent.

14-4-20X1 Issued 500 8 4,000
15-4-20X1 Balance 350 ---- 2,300*
Total value of material Exe issued under LIFO method comes to (₹1,500 + ₹2,800 + ₹4,000)
₹8,300.
*The balance 350 units on 15-4-20X1 of ₹2,300. Relates to opening balance on 1-4-20X1 and
purchases made on 5-4-20X1, 8-4-20X1 and 12-4-20X1, (100 units @ ₹5, 50 units @ ₹6,100
units @ ₹7 and 100 units @ ₹8.)
As shown in (a) above, the value of stock of materials on 15-4-20X1;

✓ Under FIFO method ₹2,800
✓ Under LIFO method ₹2,300
Total value of material Exe issued to production under FIFO and LIFO methods comes to
₹7,800 and ₹8,300 respectively. The value of closing stock of material Exe on 15-4-20X1
under FIFO and LIFO methods comes to ₹2,800 and ₹2,300 respectively.

www.escholars.in
b) The reasons for the difference of ₹ 500 (₹ 8,300 − ₹ 7,800) as shown by the following
table in the value of material Exe, issued to production under FIFO and LIFO as follows;
Date Quantity Value Total Value Total

Issued FIFO LIFO
(Units) (₹) (₹) (₹) (₹)
6-4-20X1 250 1,400 1,500
10-4-20X1 400 2,650 2,800
14-4-20X1 500 3,750 7,800 4,000 8,300
1) On 6-4-20X1, 250 units were issued to production. Under FIFO their value comes to
1,400 (100 units × ₹ 5 + 150 units × 6) and under LIFO ₹ 1,500 (250 × ₹ 6). Hence,
₹100 more was charged to production under LIFO.
2) On 10-4-20X1, 400 units were issued to production. Under FIFO their value comes
to ₹ 2,650 (150 × 6 + 250× ₹7) and under LIFO ₹2,800 (400 × ₹7). Hence, ₹150 more
was charged to production under LIFO.
3) On 14-4-20X1, 500 units were issued to production. Under FIFO their value comes
to ₹ 3,750 (250 × ₹7 + 250 × ₹8) and under LIFO ₹4,000 (500 × ₹8.), Hence, ₹250
more was charged to production under LIFO.
Thus, the total excess amount charged to production under LIFO comes to ₹500.
The reasons for the difference of ₹ 500 (₹ 2,800−₹ 2,300) in the value of 350 units of
Closing Stock of material Exe under FIFO and LIFO are as follows;
1) In the case of FIFO, all the 350 units of the closing Stock belongs to the purchase of
material made on 12-4-20X1, whereas under LIFO these units were from opening
balance and purchase made on 5-4-20X1, 8-4-20X1 and 12-4-20X1.
2) Due to different purchase price paid by the concern on difference days of purchase,
the value of Closing Stock differed under FIFO and LIFO. Under FIFO 350 units of
Closing Stock were Value @ ₹ 8 p.u. Whereas under LIFO first 100 units were valued
@ ₹ 5 p.u. next 50 units @ ₹ 6 p.u. next 100 units @ ₹ 7 p.u. and last 100 units @ ₹ 8
p.u.
Thus, under FIFO, the value of Closing Stock increased by ₹ 500.

value. Find the total annual cost of the existing inventory policy. Calculate, how much money
can be saved by Economic Order Quantity?
(ICAI SM)
Ans. a) Total Annual Cost in Existing Inventory Policy;
Particulars (₹)
− Ordering Cost (6 orders @ ₹ 25) 150
− Carrying Cost of average inventory (36,000 ÷ 6) = 6,000 units per
order
− Average inventory = 3,000 units
− Carrying Cost = 20% of ₹ 1 × 3,000 = 3,000 × 0.20 600
Total Cost A 750
b) Total Annual Cost in Economic Order Quantity;
2×36,000×25
Economic Order Quantity = √ = 3,000 units.
₹1×20%
Particulars (₹)
− No. of orders = 36,000 ÷ 3,000 units = 12 orders
Ordering Cost (12 × ₹25) = 300
− Carrying Cost of average inventory (3,000 × 0.20) ÷ 2 = 300
Total Cost B 600
− Savings due to E.O.Q ₹ (750−600) (A−B) 150
Note: -
As the units purchase Cost of ₹1 does not change in both the computation. The same has not
been considered to arrive at total cost of inventory for the purpose of savings.

2) Evaluation of Profitability of Different Options of Order Quantity;
a) When EOQ is ordered

Particulars (₹)
✓ Purchase Cost − (8,000 units × ₹ 400) 32,00,000
✓ Ordering Cost − [(8,000 units/200 units) × ₹ 200] 8,000
✓ Carrying Cost − (200 units × ₹ 400 × ½ × 20/100) 8,000
Total Cost 32,16,000
b) When Quantity Discount is accepted;
Particulars (₹)
✓ Purchase Cost − (8,000 units × ₹ 384 *) 30,72,000
✓ Ordering Cost − [(8,000 units/4000 units) × ₹ 200] 400
✓ Carrying − (4000 units × ₹ 384 × ½ × 20/100) 1,53,600
Cost
Total Cost 32,26,000
− *Unit Cost ₹ 400

− Less Quantity Discount @ 4% = 16
− Purchase Cost = 400−16 = ₹ 384
Advise− The total cost of inventory is lower if EOQ is adopted. Hence, the company is
advised not to accept the quantity discount.

Where,
− A=Annual Demand
− O=Ordering Cost per order
− C=Inventory Carrying Cost per unit per annum
a) Calculation of EOQ;
✓ Super Grow;
2×2,000×1,200
− EOQ = √ 480
= √10,000 or 100 bags
✓ Nature’s Own;
2×1,280×1,400
− EOQ = √ 560
= √6,400 or 80 bags
b) Total annual relevant cost = Total annual relevant ordering costs + Total annual
relevant carrying cost;
Particulars Super Grow Nature’s Own

✓ Number of Orders = Annual = 2,000/100 = 1,280/80
Requirement ÷ EOQ = 20 orders = 16 orders

20. G. Ltd., produces a product which has a monthly demand of 4,000 units. The product
requires a component X which is purchased at ₹20. For every finished product. One unit of
component is required. The ordering cost is ₹120 order and the holding cost is 10% p.a.
a) Economic order quantity.

b) If the minimum lot size to be supplied is 4,000 units, what is the extra cost, the company
has to incur?
c) What is the minimum carrying cost, the company has to incur?
(ICAI SM)
Ans. a) Economic order quantity: -
− A (Annual requirement or Component ‘X’) = 4,000 units per month × 12 months =

48,000 units
− O (Ordering Cost per order) = ₹120
− C (Holding Cost) = 10% per annum
− (Purchase Cost per unit) = ₹20
2AO 2×48,000 units×₹ 120
− Economic Order Quantity = √ C
=√ 10% 𝑜𝑓 ₹ 20
= 2,400 units

b) Extra Cost incurred by the Company: -
i) Total Cost when order size is equal 4,000 units;

− Total Cost = Total ordering Cost + Total Carrying Cost
A 1
− = × O + Q(C)
Q 2
48,000 units 1
− = ( 4,000 units × ₹120) + (2 × 4,000 units × 10% × ₹20)
− = ₹ 1,440 + ₹4,000 = ₹ 5,440
ii) Total Cost when order size is equal EOQ i.e., 2,400 units;
48,000 units 1
− Total Cost = ( 2,400 units × ₹ 120) + (2 × 2,400 units × 10% × ₹20)
− = ₹ 2,400 + ₹ 2,400 = ₹4,800
− Extra Cost that the company has to incur = (A) –(B) = ₹ 5,440−₹ 4,800 =
₹ 640
c) Minimum Carrying Cost: -

Carrying Cost depends upon the size of the order. It will be minimum on the least order
size. (In this part of the question the two order sizes are 2,400 units and 4,000 units.
Here 2,400 units is the least of the two order sizes. At this order size carrying Cost will
be minimum.)
− The minimum Carrying cost in this case can be computed as under: -

Ans. From the point of view of cost of Material charged to each job, it is minimum under FIFO and
maximum under LIFO (Refer to Tables). During the period of rising prices, the use of FIFO
give rise to hight profits and that of LFIO low profits. In the case of weighted average, there
is no significant adverse or favourable effect on the cost of material as well as on profits.
From the point of view of valuation of closing stock, it is apparent from the above statement,
that it is maximum under FIFO, moderate under weighted average and minimum under
LIFO.
It is clear from the tables that the use of weighted average evens out the fluctuations in the
prices, under this method, the cost of materials issued to the jobs and the cost of material in
hands reflects greater uniformity than under FIFO and LIFO. Thus, from different points of
view, weighted average method is preferred over LIFO and FIFO.

26. A Company has the option to procure a particular material from two sources;
Source I; assures that defectives will not be more than 2% of supplied quantity.
Source II; does not give any assurance, but on the basis of past experience of supplies
received from it, it is observed that defective percentage is 2.8%.
The Material is supplied in lots of 1,000 units. Source II Supplies the lot at a price, which is
lower by ₹100 as compared to Source I. The defective units of material can be rectified for
use at a cost of 5 per unit.
You are required to find out which of the two sources is more economical.

✓ Hence, Source II is more economical than Source I.
27. A Company manufactures a product from a raw material, which is purchased at ₹60 per kg.
The Company incurs a handling cost of ₹360 plus freight of ₹390 per order. The incremental
carrying cost of inventory of raw material is Re. 0.50 per kg. per month, In addition, the cost
of working capital finance on the investment in inventory of raw material is ₹9 per kg. per
annum. The annual production of the product is 1,00,000 units and 2.5 units are obtained
from one kg. of raw material.
Required: -
a) Calculate the economic order quantity of raw materials.

b) Advise, how frequently should orders for procurement be placed.
c) If the company proposes to rationalise placement of orders on quarterly basis, what
percentage of discount in the price of raw materials should be negotiated?
(Nov 2001)
Ans. a) Economic Order Quantity;
− A = Annual usage of Raw Material
− = 1 unit of material gives 2.5 units of Finished Goods
1,00,000
− For 1,00,000 units of finished goods, material required = 2.5 = 40,000 kgs.
− O = Ordering cost per order = Handling Cost + freight per order
= ₹ 360 + ₹ 390 = ₹ 750
− P = Cost/kg. of material = ₹ 60 per kg.
− C= Carrying Cost or Holding Cost of Inventory per unit p.a.
− = Carrying cost per unit p.a. + Interest cost of investment in inventory per unit p.a.
− = (₹ 0.50 per unit per month × 12 months) + ₹ 9 per kg. p.a.

On analysis of the total annual ordering & carrying cost as above it can be said that if we
place quarterly orders of 10,000 kgs. Each then we would incur extra ordering & carrying
cost of ₹48,000 (i.e., ₹78,000-30,000).
In Order to avoid or compensate this increase in cost of ₹48,000 we will have to negotiate

(May 2008, RTP)

Ans. 2 AO
a) Economic Order Quantity = √ C
− A = Annual Requirement = 40000

− B = Buying Cost = 40
− O = Ordering Cost = ₹ 8
− C = Carring Cost permit × % Cost of Cost price

c) Total Cost of Ordering;
✓ At EOQ Level
✓ Carrying Cost = Ordering Cost
✓ Ordering Cost = 100 × 8 − = 800
✓ Carrying Cost (400÷2)×4 − = 800
✓ Total Cost − = 1600
✓ Alternatively; Total Cost − = √2 AOC

Re-Order Level − 1,60,000 units
Economic Order Quantity − 90,000 units
Minimum Stock Level − 1,00,000 units
Maximum Stock Level − 1,90,000 units
Average Lead time − 6 days
Difference between Minimum lead time and − 4 days
Maximum lead time
Calculate: -
a) Maximum Consumption per day
b) Minimum Consumption per day
(Nov 2014)
Ans. a) Maximum Consumption per day;
− Re-Order level= Maximum Re-Order period × Maximum Consumption per day.
− 1,60,000 units = 8 days × Maximum Consumption per day
1,60,000 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
− Or, Maximum Consumption per day = 8 days
= 20,000 Units
b) Minimum Consumption per day;

− Maximum Stock Level = Re-Order Level + Re-Order Quantity – (Minimum Lead
time × Minimum Consumption per day.)
− Or, 1,90,000 units = 1,60,000 units + 90,000 units – (4 days × Minimum
Consumption per day.)
− Or, 4 days × Minimum Consumption per day = 2,50,000 units – 1,90,000 units
60,000 units
− Or, Minimum Consumption per day = 4 days = 15,000 units

www.escholars.in
Working Notes:-
✓ Difference between Minimum lead time and Maximum lead time = 4 days Maximum
lead time − Minimum lead time = 4 days
✓ Or, Max lead time = Minimum lead time + 4 days …………………(i)
✓ Average lead time is given as 6 days i.e.,
Maximum Lead time+Minimum Lead time
✓ 2
= 6 days ………………………. (ii)
✓ Putting the value of (i) in (ii).
Minimum Lead time+4 days+Minimum Lead time
✓ 2
= 6 days
✓ Or, Minimum Lead time + 4 days + Minimum. Lead time = 12 days
✓ Or, 2 Minimum Lead time = 8 days
8 days
✓ Or, Minimum Lead time = 2 = 4 days
✓ Putting this Minimum lead time value in (i), we get
✓ Maximum lead time = 4 days + 4 days = 8 days

35. IPL Limited uses a small casting in one of its finished products. The castings are purchased
from a foundry. IPL Limited purchases 54,000 castings per year at a cost of ₹800 per casting.
The Castings are used evenly throughout the year in the production process on a 360- day
per year basis. The company estimates that it costs. ₹ 9,000 to place a single purchase order
and about ₹300 to carry one casting in inventory for a year. The high carrying costs result
from the need to keep the castings in carefully controlled temperature and humidity
conditions. And from the high cost of insurance.
Delivery from the foundry generally takes 6 days, but it can take as much as 10 days. The
days of delivery time and percentage of their occurrence are shown in the following
tabulation:
✓ Delivery time (days); 6 7 8 9 10

c) Assume the company is willing to assume a 5% risk of being out of stock. What would
be the safety stock? The Re-order Point?
d) Assume 5% Stock-out risk. What would be the total cost of ordering and carrying
inventory for one year?
e) Refer to the original data. Assume that using process re-engineering the company
reduces its cost of placing a purchase order to only ₹600. In addition, company
estimates that when the waste and inefficiency caused by inventories are considered,
the true cost of carrying a unit in stock is d 720 per year.

✓ A = Annual Usage = 54,000 Castings
✓ P = Cost per Casting = ₹ 800
✓ O = Ordering Cost per Order = ₹ 9,000
✓ C = Carrying Cost per unit p.a. = ₹ 300
2AO 2×54,000×9,000 = √32,40,000
✓ EOQ = √ C

= 1,800 Casting
c) Safety Stock;
(Assuming a risk of being out of stock)
✓ Safety Stock for/day = 54,000/360 days = 150 castings

✓ Re-Order Point = Minimum Stock Level + (Average
lead time × Average Usage)
= 150 + (6× 150) = 1,050 casting.
d) Safety Stock;
(Assuming a 5% risk of being out of stocks)
✓ Safety Stock for 3 days = 150 × 3 days = 450 castings.

✓ Re-Order Point = 450 Castings + 900 castings (150 × 6) = 1,350 castings.
e) Total Cost of Ordering = (54,000 / 1,800) × ₹ 9,000 = ₹ 2,70,000

Total Cost of Carrying = (450 + 1,800/2) × ₹ 300 = ₹ 4,05,000

for his hometown due to certain contingency and immediately left the job same day. Later,
he also switched his phone off.

report for the loss due to rusting of the components, the new stock manager, on 30th
September, 20X1, found that 900 units of Micro-controllers were missing which was
apparently misappropriated by the former stock manager. He, further, reported loss of 300
