Assignment Problem 4
Manchester Co. stocks Part #567. The annual demand rate for the part is constant and known to be 4000 units/year. The part is purchased at a cost of $4/unit from an independent supplier. The annual holding cost for Part #567 is 25% of the per-unit purchase price, per year. Every time an order is placed, a fixed cost of $80 is incurred. (Hints: Pay close attention to units.)

What is the optimal order quantity for minimizing the average annual total cost?
