Order cost is Rs.$$60$$ per order while the holding cost is $$10\% $$ of the purchase price. Determine the economic order quantity $$(EOQ)$$ if the annual requirement is $$1000$$ units.
(a) Find the economic order quantities and the minimum total cost
(b) A supplier is willing to give a $$1\% $$ discount on price, if both the items are ordered from him and if the order quantities for each item are $$1000$$ units or more. Is it profitable to avail the discount?
Demand $$=1000$$ units/year
Order cost $$=$$ Rs.$$40$$/order
Holding cost $$ = 10\% $$ of the unit cost / unit-year
Unit cost $$=$$ Rs.$$500$$
(a) What is the economic order quantity?
(b) Under the $$EOQ$$ what is the number of annual orders?
(c) With a policy of ordering every month what would be the total annual cost as a percentage of the cost at $$EOQ$$?
