Respuesta :

Answer: a. 18 ; b. 9

Explanation:

a. Determine the economic order quantity.

The following can be derived from the question:

Annual demand D = 1215 bags

Ordering cost S = $10

Holding cost H = $75

Economic order quantity = ✓2DA/H

= ✓2 × 1215 × 10/75

= 18

b. What is the average number of bags on hand

This will be gotten by dividing the economic order quantity by 2 which will be:

= 18/2

= 9
