The EOQ is achieved when the annual total inventory cost is a the minimum. This happens when
C. Annual holding cost equals annual ordering cost
correct answer is option C
Explanation:
Total Inventory Cost TC = Ordering cost + holding cost, TC = ( D/Q) Co + ( Q/2) Ch
And the minimum total inventory cost TC* = ( D/Q*) Co + ( Q*/2) Ch = sqrt (2D* Co *Ch)
Where Q* is the EOQ
