- The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. She knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days. If the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level?arrow_forward1. Calculate Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), number of orders, annual ordering costs, annual carrying costs and total inventory costs from the following: Annual consumption: 6000 units ; Cost of placing one Order: RO 60 Carrying cost per unit: RO 22. Find out the EOQ, Annual ordering cost and annual holding cost from the following information. The demand is 19500 units per year, holding cost is RO 4 per unit for a year and ordering cost is RO 25 order. 3.
