6. Carrying Costs vs. Ordering Costs
Based on an EOQ analysis, the optimal order quantity is 4,000 units. Annual inventory carrying costs equal
30% of the average inventory level. The company pays P 10 per unit to buy the product and P 400 to place
an order. The monthly demand for the product is 5,000 units.
REQUIRED: Determine the following:
A) Annual inventory carrying costs.
B) Annual inventory ordering costs.
C) Total inventory costs.
Given the historical cost of product Dominoe is $37, the selling price of product Dominoe is $40, costs to sell product Dominoe are $2, the replacement cost for product Dominoe is $36, and the normal profit margin is 20% of sales price, what is the amount that should be used to value the inventory under the lower-of-cost-or-market method?

- Given: Peter Piper has projected sales of 72,000 pipes this year, ordering cost of P6 per order, and carrying costs of P2.40 per pipe. With the given data, can you give me the solution on how to get: -What is the economic ordering quantity? -Total inventory cost at EOQ -How many orders will be placed during the year?-What will the average inventory be? Thank you in advance.arrow_forwardThe ABC firm is using a continuous inventory quantity system and is currently ordering 300 units every time an order is placed. Their annual order costs are $200 and their annual carrying costs are $300. To minimize their total annual inventory costs the firm should reduce the order quantity so that it is less than 300 units increase the order quantity so that it is greater than 300 units leave the order quantity at 300 units since it is the optimal order quantity use a periodic inventory system to reduce costs cannot be answered because of insufficient informationarrow_forwardEkor bakery sells doughnut. The annual demand is 10,000 per year. The ordering cost is $21, and holding cost is $3. If the demand exceeds the inventory, Ekor has two types of costs associated with the backorder. The loss of goodwill is $O.1 per unit short, and a "bookkeeping" cost of $0.3 per unit short per year. Calculate: economic order quantity, maximum acceptable inventory, cycle time, and minimal total annual average cost. Suppose the doughnuts are sold in packages of 150 units each. How many packages should sell? (Hint: Sensitivity of EOQ).arrow_forward
