Q] Yearly requirement of cement by a large firm is 240 bags. The cost of a cement
bag is Rs 200/- . Lead time is one month and the ordering cost per order is Rs 120/- .
Assume annual carrying cost for inventory 20% of average inventory management .
Find out the Economical Order Quality and the Total inventory cost.
Solution :
1) Calculate annual cost of yearly requirement of cement = 240 bags
cost of our bags = Rs 200
9) Varying the no. of orders for the total inventory cost is calculated as per given
sample given in the table.

Q= 15.49 = 16.
No .of orders = annual usage
Q
= 240
15.49
=15.49 = 16.
From total cost curve it can be seen that if 16 orders are placed in a year the total
inventory cost is minimum.
Frequency of Ordering = 365
16
= 23 days.
Q) A stock list has to supply 200 units of a commodity to his customer every week. The cost
rate is Rs 100/- per unit from the manufacturer and the ordering cost is Rs 200/ per order.
The carrying cost of inventory is 20% per year of the cost of inventory. Find the economical
order avautity and yearly expenses over the commodity.
Solution
w : ordering cost per cost Rs 200/-
S : Total annual requirement of item
=200 X 52
S = 10400 units.
I : annual carrying cost = 20 % = 0.2
Cu: unit cost of item = Rs 100/ units
