R= no of cans per year
c= cost per can
d= discount per can
K= ordering cost
Q*= economic order quantity
alpha = holding cost

a) Without discount

Cost per year= Material Cost + Ordering Cost + Holding Cost
Material Cost= cR
Ordering Cost= (R/Q*) K
Holding Cost= (Q*/2) c alpha

Total cost per year= Material Cost + Ordering Cost + Holding Cost
= cR + (R/Q*) K + (Q*/2) c alpha

At the economic order quantity Ordering cost= Holding cost
Thus

(R/Q*) K = (Q*/2) c alpha

So we can write total cost per year
=cR + (R/Q*) K + (Q*/2) c alpha = cR + (Q*/2) c alpha + (Q*/2) c alpha = cR + Q* c alpha

Total cost per year= cR + Q* c alpha

Total cost in next t (Q */R) time units= (cR + Q* c alpha ) x t ...
