Explanation / Answer

Given annual demand = 5000 boxes A1 A2 Cost per box = 6.40 Cost per box = 6.00 Ordering cost = 25 Ordering cost = 25 Carrying cost = 25% Carrying cost = 25% Minimum order = 3000 boxes per order EOQ = Sqrt ( 2U*O/C) EOQ = Sqrt ( 2U*O/C) Where Where U= 5000 U= 5000 O= 25 O= 25 C = 6.40*25% = 1.6 C = 6.00*25%= 1.5 EOQ= 395 units EOQ= 408 But given minimum order is 3000 boxes per order total inventory cost per annum = C*(Q/2)+F(D/Q)+U*CB total inventory cost per annum = C*(Q/2)+F(D/Q)+U*CB where where C= Carrying cost per unit per annum C= Carrying cost per unit per annum Q= Quantity per each order Q= Quantity per each order F= fixed cost per order F= fixed cost per order D= demand D= demand U=Annual demand U=Annual demand CB= cost per box CB= cost per box total inventory cost per annum = C*(Q/2)+F(D/Q)+U*CB total inventory cost per annum = C*(Q/2)+F(D/Q)+U*CB =1.6*(395/2)+25*(5000/395)+(5000*6.4) = 32640 =1.5*(3000/2)+25*(2)+(5000*6.0) = 32300 Hence it is better to buy from the new vendor A2 Since it result in reduced cost of $ 340
