The annual demand for the Super Thrive brand plant food manufactured by Cumberbatch and Dunst Indoor Plants Company is 120,000 pounds. The annual holding cost (also known as carrying charge) is $0.05 per pound, and Operations Manager Kirsten Benedict has calculated the cost of setting up machinery for making the plant food to be $20.   1) What is the annual holding (carrying) cost for the EOQ that you calculated?   2) What is the annual setup cost for the EOQ that you calculated?   3) Compare the total cost of inventory management (holding + setup cost) for the two quantities (5,000 and the EOQ you calculated) and comment on the difference. Based on your knowledge of the idea behind EOQ, what explains the differences (in words – no need to reconcile the exact differences quantitatively). Write three to five sentences in response to this question.
