Problem 13-3
A large bakery buys flour in 25-pound bags. The bakery uses an average of 4,600 bags a year.
Preparing an order and receiving a shipment of flour involves a cost of $10 per order. Annual
carrying costs are $75 per bag.
Determine the economic order quantity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your
final answer to the nearest whole number.)
What is the average number of bags on hand?(Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
=18
How many orders per year will there be? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole
number.)
Compute the total cost of ordering and carrying flour. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Omit the \"$\" sign in your response.)
If holding costs were to increase by $9 per year, how much would that affect the minimum total
annual cost? (Round intermediate order qty to nearest whole number and round your answer to 2
decimal places. Omit the \"$\" sign in your response.)

carrying costs are $75 per bag.
Solution
--
D = Demand= 4600 bags/year
C = Inventory Carrying cost or holding cost = 75
O = Ordering cost= $10 per order
sqrt = square root
(a)
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) = Q = sqrt(2DO/C) = sqrt(2*4600*10/75) = 35.024 = 36 bags
(b) Average number of bags in hand = average inventory = Q/2 = 36/2 = 18 bags
c) Orders per year = D/Q = 4600/35.024 = 131.34 = 132 orders per year
(d)
Total cost (TC) = product cost (PC) + Inventory Cost (IC) + Ordering cost (OC)
TC = PC + IC + OC
PC = unit price * demand = as the unit price is not given, this part cannot be included in TC
hence TC = IC + OC
IC = Average Inventory * Carrying cost
= Q/2 * C = 36/2 * 75 = 1350
OC = D/Q * O = 4600/35.024 * 10 = 1320
TC = 1350 + 1320 = $2670
e) C = $75+$9 = $84 (the new Inventory carrying cost)
IC = 36/2 * 84 = 1512
TC = 1512 + 1320 = $2862
2862 – 2670 = 192
The cost would rise by $192
