Answer:

a. Optimal order quantity = 2,600 boxes

b. Number of orders per year = 6.16 orders per year

Explanation:

a. Determine the optimal order quantity. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

D = Annual demand = 16,025

O = Ordering cost = $97

C = Carrying costs = 46 cents, or $0.46

Optimal order quantity = Economic order quantity = ((2 * D * O) / C)^0.5 = ((2 * 16,025 * 97 ) / 0.46)^0.5 = 2,600 boxes

b. Determine the number of orders per year. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Number of orders per year = Annual demand / Economic order quantity = 16,025 /  2,600 = 6.16 orders per year
