EOQ and Cash Cycles
EOQ:
An online source noted that economic order quantity (EOQ) is computed using the formula:
EOQ = √ (2ACp / Ch)
Where A = demand for the year
Cp = cost to place a single order
Ch = cost to hold one unit of inventory for a year
Solution:
Based on the problem, A = 200,000 units; Cp = $ 500; Ch = $ 0.90
EOQ = √ (2 * 200,000 * $500/ $ 0.90)
= √ ($ 200,000,000 / $ 0.90)
= √ 222222222.22
EOQ = 14,907 cases; the number of cases to order every time
an order is placed in order to minimize both ordering and carrying costs.
At the computed EOQ, how many times are we going to order?
At a yearly demand of 200,000 and an EOQ of 14, 907 cases, we need to order
A/Q times = 200,000/14907 = 13 times
Cost to be incurred if we order once, 6X, 12 X a year:
a) Once a year; this means ordering all the needed number of cases for a year once - possibly at the start of a given year:
