Answer:
(1) 2,28 units
(ii) 1,414 units
(iii) Minimum stock is less than EOQ.
Explanation:
(1) Units Ordered each time
where,
A = Annual Requirement =40,000 Units
O = Ordering Cost = $200 Per unit
Minimum Stock for lead time:
= (40,000 Units × 10) ÷ 365
= 1096 (Approximately)
C=Annual Carrying cost per unit = $40 × 10% × 1/2
= 2
= 2828 Units
(2) Average Inventory = EOQ ÷ 2
= 2828 Units ÷ 2
= 1,414 Units
(3) If the Lead time Increase 10 to 15 days:
Minimum Stock Need to be Maintained:
= Avg Daily Demand × Lead time
= (40,000 Units ÷ 365) × 15
= 1,644 Units
Minimum Stock is Less the EOQ , then Increasing Lead time to 15 Days Does not Have effect on EOQ.
