A large hospital has an annual demand for 70.000 booklets on healthy eating. It cost ā€‹$.75 to store one booklet for aā€‹ year, and it costs ā€‹$80 to place an order for a new batch of booklets. Find the optimum number of copies per order.

Respuesta :

Answer:

It will order 3,865 booklets

Explanation:

We need to use the formula for Economic Optimal Quantity

[tex]Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]

Where:

D = annual demand

S= supply cost = ordering cost

H= Holding Cost

[tex]Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2*70,000*80}{.75}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_{opt} =3,864.37[/tex]

It will order 3,865 booklets

How to Remember:

Demand per year and order cost goes in the dividend.

Holding cost goes in the divisor.
