Problem # 4:
A manufacturer buys certain equipment form suppliers at Rs. 30 per unit. Total annual needs are 800 units. The following further data are available:
Annual return on investments 10% Rent, insurance, storing per unit per year Rs. 2
Cost of placing an order Rs. 100
Required: EOQ
Solution:
EOQ = 200 Units

Problem # 5:
From the figures given below, calculate Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and Total cost at EOQ?
Total consumption of material per year 10,000 kgs Buying cost per order Rs. 50
Unit cost of material Rs. 2 per kg Carrying and storage cost 8%
Solution:
EOQ = 2,500 Units
Total Inventory Cost = [Fixed ordering cost (F) * Number of Order per year N] + [Carrying Cost (C)* EOQ/2]
Total Inventory Cost = [50 * 10,000/2,500] + [(2*0.08)* 2,500/2]
Total Inventory Cost = 200 + 200
Total Inventory Cost = Rs. 400

Economic Order Quantity MCQ
Chris Plc is to decide between two alternative inventory plans for one of their production component. Regardless of the alternative pursued, demand for the component is 100,000 pieces per annum. For Plan A, Chris will use its E-mail facilities for ordering at N40 per order. Warehousing charges will be N25 per unit per quarter while insurance charges are estimated at 0.65% of the production cost per unit, currently put at N80 per unit. For Plan B, ordering will be done via telex at a cost of N125 per order while holding cost will remain the same. REQUIRED: Which plan will result in lower total inventory carrying cost and why?
A manufacturer uses 7500 units of a material ‘Z’ per year. The material cost is rs.15 per unit and carrying cost is 40% per annum of average inventory cost. The cost of placing order is rs.36. Calculate EOQ and number of orders placed per annum.
EOQ = √2×7500×36/15×40%
= 300 units.
Number of orders placed per annum A/EOQ = 7500/300 = 25 orders.
Help me with this problem
Data given.
EOQ=750 units.
Annual demand= 22500units.
Carrying cost= 20% of average stock value.
Requirements;
a. Unit purchase price
b. Ordering cost per order.
c. Number of order per annum.
d. Annual ordering cost.
I need the solution of this question
it is not explicit question please do it?
a. Unit purchase price
The formula for calculating the unit purchase price is as follows:
Unit Purchase Price = Total Annual Cost of Goods / Annual Demand
To calculate the total annual cost of goods, we first need to calculate the annual order quantity. The formula for calculating the annual order quantity is:
Annual Order Quantity = √((2 x Annual Demand x Ordering Cost per Order) / Carrying Cost per Unit)
Substituting the given values, we get:
Annual Order Quantity = √((2 x 22500 x Ordering Cost per Order) / 0.2)
EOQ = 750 units
Now, we can solve for Ordering Cost per Order:
750 = √((2 x 22500 x Ordering Cost per Order) / 0.2)
Ordering Cost per Order = 60
Using this value, we can calculate the Annual Order Quantity:
Annual Order Quantity = √((2 x 22500 x 60) / 0.2) = 4500
Total Annual Cost of Goods = Unit Purchase Price x Annual Demand
Unit Purchase Price = Total Annual Cost of Goods / Annual Demand
Unit Purchase Price = (4500 x 60) / 22500 = 12
Therefore, the unit purchase price is 12.
b. Ordering cost per order
We have already calculated the ordering cost per order in part (a). It is 60.
c. Number of orders per annum
The number of orders per annum can be calculated as follows:
Number of Orders per Annum = Annual Demand / Annual Order Quantity
Substituting the given values, we get:
Number of Orders per Annum = 22500 / 4500 = 5
Therefore, the number of orders per annum is 5.
d. Annual ordering cost
The annual ordering cost can be calculated as follows:
Annual Ordering Cost = Number of Orders per Annum x Ordering Cost per Order
Substituting the given values, we get:
Annual Ordering Cost = 5 x 60 = 300
Therefore, the annual ordering cost is 300.

A manufacturer requires 4,000kg. of a raw material
annually. The ordering cost is Rs. 5 per order. The
carrying cost is estimated to be 8% of average inventory
per year. The purchase price of the raw material is Rs. 2
per kg. Calculate the Economic lot size and the total cost.
I visited multiple web sites but the audio feature for audio songs present at this web page is in fact marvelous.|
it’s really helpful for us, keep it up !!!!!!!
I also didn’t understand Q3 Holding cost?
I suppose question 3 EOQ should have been 60 units
