EOQ(Economic Order Quantity) = sqroot{(2*Annual Demand*setup cost)/(Holding cost)}
200 = sqroot{(2*Annual Demand*25)/(2)}
Squaring Both sides.
200*200 = (2*Annual Demand*25)/(2)
Annual Demand = (200*200*2)/(50)
Annual Demand = 1600
Daily Demand = Annual Demand/Number of working days
= (1600/200)
= 8
