Answer #1

8

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
