EOQ- Proofs for total cost
3. Consider a DAG supermarket selling chicken noodle soup manufactured by the Campbell Soup Company. Customer demand for chicken noodle soup is R cans per year. The price Campbell charges is $C per can. DAG incurs a holding cost rate of {see attachment}. The ordering cost is $K per order. Using the EOQ formula, DAG normally orders in the following lot sizes: {see attachment}
Campbell announces that it is offering a one-time-only discount of $d per can. Let Qd be the lot size ordered at the discounted price. Let t := Qd=Q¤.

See attached file
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 ...
