Answer:

Number of orders= 28.59 = 29 orders

Explanation:

Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.

Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]

D= Demand in units

S= Order cost

H= Holding cost

D= 70*250= 17,500

S= $30

H= 14*0.2= $2.8

Now, using the formula:

EOQ= √[(2*17,500*30) / 2.8]

EOQ= √375,000

EOQ= 612.37 = 612

Finally, the number of orders:

Number of orders= total demand / EOQ

Number of orders= 17,500 / 612

Number of orders= 28.59 = 29 orders
