Total consumption of material per year 10,000 kgs Buying cost per order Rs. 50
Unit cost of material Rs. 2 per kg Carrying and storage cost 8%
Solution:
EOQ = 2,500 Units
Total Inventory Cost = [Fixed ordering cost (F) * Number of Order per year N] + [Carrying Cost (C)* EOQ/2]
Total Inventory Cost = [50 * 10,000/2,500] + [(2*0.08)* 2,500/2]
Total Inventory Cost = 200 + 200
Total Inventory Cost = Rs. 400
