Question 2B
The soft goods department of a large department store sells 175 units per month of a certain large bath towel. The unit cost of a towel to the store is $2.50, and the cost of placing an order has been estimated to be $12.00. The store uses an inventory carrying charge of I = 27% per year. What is the total cost per year for the bath towels?
A. $53
B. $79
C. 184
D. $92
E. $273
annual demand D= 175 * 12 = 2100
holding cost H = 27/100 * 2.5
= 0.675
order cost S = 12
optimal order quantity
= sqrt(2DS/H)
= sqrt(2*2100*12/0.675)
= 273 units
annual holding cost = 273/2 * 0.675 = 92.14
annual ordering cost = D/Q * S = 2100/273 * 12
= 92.3
Total cost = 92.14 + 92.3
= 184
choose c)
