Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 1:
Find the economic order quantity for annual demand of an item to be 6000 units, item cost per unit as Rs. 500, ordering cost per purchase order is Rs. 1000 and cost of holding the inventory per unit per year is Rs. 48.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The ordering quantity Q* at which holding cost becomes equal to ordering cost and the total inventory cost is minimum is known as Economic order Quantity (EOQ).
At EOQ:
Ordering cost = Holding cost
\(\frac{D}{{{Q^*}}}{C_o} = \frac{{{Q^*}}}{2}{C_h} \Rightarrow {Q^*} = \sqrt {\frac{{2D{C_o}}}{{{C_h}}}} \)
D = Annual or yearly demand of inventory (unit/year)
Q = Quantity to be ordered at each order point (unit/order)
Co = Cost of placing one order [Rs/order]
Ch = Cost of holding one unit in inventory for one complete year [Rs/unit/year]
Calculation:
D = 6000 units, Co = Rs. 1000, Ch = 48
\({{\rm{Q}}^{\rm{*}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{2{\rm{D}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{o}}}}}{{{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{h}}}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 6000 \times 1000}}{{48}}} = 500{\rm{\;units}}\)
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 2:
For a single item inventory system, the demand is continuous, which is 10000 per year. The replenishment is instantaneous and backorders (S units) per cycle are allowed as shown in the figure.
As soon as the quantity (Q units) ordered from the supplier is received, the backordered quantity is issued to the customers. The ordering cost is Rs. 300 per order. The carrying cost is Rs. 4 per unit per year. The cost of backordering is Rs. 25 per unit per year. Based on the total cost minimization criteria, the maximum inventory reached in the system is ______ (round off to nearest integer).
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 1130 - 1140
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
In a back order model every time after stock out period when quantity Q is received the inventory level reaches its maximum level.
Economic order quantity \( = \sqrt {\frac{{2D{C_o}}}{{{C_h}}}\left( {\frac{{{C_b} + {C_h}}}{{{C_b}}}} \right)}\)
Maximum inventory \(= \sqrt {\frac{{2D{C_o}}}{{{C_h}}} \times \left( {\frac{{{C_b}}}{{{C_b} + {C_h}}}} \right)}\)
Where, D is the demand per year, Cb is the backordering cost per unit per year and Ch is the carrying cost per unit per year
Co is the ordering cost per order
Calculation:
Given, D = 10000/year, Ch = 4 /unit/year, Co = 300/order, Cb = 25 /unit/year
\({Q_{max}} = \sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 10,000 \times 300}}{4} \times \frac{{25}}{{25 + 4}}}\)
Qmax = 1137.147 units
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 3:
With reference to the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model, which one of the options given is correct?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 3 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Curve P2: Holding cost
Holding cost = \(\rm \frac{Order\ quantity}{2}× \frac{Carrying\ cost}{\frac{unit}{unit\ time}}\)
\(\rm =\frac{Q}{2}× C_c\)
⇒ Holding cos t ∝ Q
Curve P3: Setup cost
Setup cost (or) ordering cost
= No. of setups × setup cost / setup
\(\rm=\frac{Annual\ demand}{Order\ quantity}× \frac{setup\ cos\ t}{setup}\)
\(\rm =\frac{D}{Q}× C_0\)
⇒ Ordering (or setup cost ∝ \(\rm \frac{1}{Q}\)
Curve P4: Production (or) Material cost
Curve P1: Total cost
Annual production cost = Annual demand × unit cost
= D × Cu
⇒ Production cost is independent of order quantity.
TC = holding cost + setup cost + production cost
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 4:
Identify the equation that is used to find the quantity giving the most economic order.
where 'A' is the total item consumed per year
'P' is the purchase cost per order
'C' is the annual inventory carrying cost per item.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 4 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Economic order quantity (EOQ):
- Economic order quantity is the size of the order which helps in minimizing the total annual cost of inventory in the organization.
- When the size of the order increases, the ordering costs (cost of purchasing, inspection, etc.) will decrease whereas the inventory carrying costs (costs of storage, insurance, etc.) will increase.
- Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the size of an order which minimizes total annual costs of carrying and cost of ordering.
- It is evident from above that the minimum total costs occur at a point where the ordering costs and inventory carrying costs are equal.
At EOQ:
Ordering cost = Holding cost
\(\frac{D}{{{Q^*}}}{C_o} = \frac{{{Q^*}}}{2}{C_h} \Rightarrow {Q^*} = \sqrt {\frac{{2A{P}}}{{{C}}}} =\sqrt {\frac{2(Annual\:Usage\:in\:units)\times (Order\:cost)}{(Annual\:carrying\:cost\:per\:unit)}}\)
A = Annual or yearly demand for inventory (unit/year)
Q = Quantity to be ordered at each order point (unit/order)
P = Cost of placing one order [Rs/order]
C = Cost of holding one unit in inventory for one complete year [Rs/unit/year]
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 5:
A plastic moulding firm produces and uses 24000 bearings. The setup cost is Rs.20 and production rate per week is 1000 units. If inventory carrying cost is Rs.1.50 per unit per year, the maximum inventory level is (nearest integer) ____ units.
(1 year = 50 working weeks)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 575 - 580
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
For production model
\(EOQ = \sqrt {\frac{{2D{C_0}}}{{{C_h}}}\left\{ {\frac{p}{{p - d}}} \right\}} \)
Where,
p = production per week, d = demand per week
\(d = \frac{{24000}}{{50}} = 480/week\)
p = 1000/week
\(\therefore EOQ = \sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 24000 \times 20}}{{1.5}}\left\{ {\frac{{1000}}{{1000 - 480}}} \right\}} \)
∴ EOQ = 1109.4 units
\(\therefore {Q_{max}} = \frac{{\left( {p - d} \right)}}{p}EOQ\)
∴ Qmax = 576.88 = 577
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 6:
The demand for a certain item is 200 units per period. Unsatisfied demand causes a shortage cost of Rs. 0.75 per unit per short period. The cost of initiating purchasing action is Rs. 10.00 per purchase and the holding cost is 15% of average inventory valuation per period. Item cost is Rs. 8.00 per unit. (Assume that shortages are being back ordered at the above-mentioned cost). The minimum inventory cost is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 40 - 45
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Total inventory cost is given by,
\(\left( {TIC} \right) = \sqrt {2D{C_o}{C_h}} .\sqrt {\frac{{{C_b}}}{{{C_b} + {C_h}}}} \)
where, D = annual demand, C0 = ordering cost, Ch = holding cost, Cb = Shortage cost
Calculation:
Given:
Demand (D) = 200
Shortage cost (Cb) = 0.75 Rs. Per unit
Ordering cost (Co) = 10 Rs. Per order
Item cost (C) = 8 per unit
Holding cost (Ch) = 15% = 0.15 × 8 = 1.20 Rs.
Now, Total inventory cost
\(\left( {TIC} \right) = \sqrt {2D{C_o}{C_h}} .\sqrt {\frac{{{C_b}}}{{{C_b} + {C_h}}}} \)
\( = \sqrt {2 \times 200 \times 10 \times 1.2} \sqrt {\frac{{0.75}}{{0.75 + 1.2}}} \)
= Rs. 42.96.
Thus, The minimum inventory cost is Rs. 42.96
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 7:
A contractor has to supply 10,000 bearings per day to an automobile manufacture. The bearings production per day is 25000. The cost of holding a bearings in stock one year is Rs. 2 and the set-up cost of a production run is 1800. Find the frequency of production run in days. (Take 300 working days in a year).
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 9.46 - 9.49
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 7 Detailed Solution
Annual demand = 10000 × 300 = 3000000
Holding cost Ch = 2
Set-up cost (Co) = 1800
Production rate (p) = 25000 bearings per day
Consumption rate (d) = 10,000 bearings per day
Economic order quantity \({Q^*} = \sqrt {\frac{{2D{C_o}}}{{{C_h}}}\left( {\frac{P}{{P - d}}} \right)} \)
\( = \sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 3000000 \times 1800}}{2}\left( {\frac{{25000}}{{25000 - 10,000}}} \right)} \)
Q* = 94868 bearings
∴ Length of production cycle \( = \frac{{94868}}{{10000}} = 9.486\;days\)Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 8:
A manufacturing company XYZ purchases 50,000 parts of a machine for its annual requirements and each part cost is Rs. 40. The ordering cost per order is Rs. 25 and the inventory holding charges are 10% of the unit cost per year. If the maximum quantity that can be ordered at a time is 600 units. What will be the minimum total inventory cost?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 3283 - 3284
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 8 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Given:
D = 50,000 units per year CO = Rs.25 per order, Cu = Rs. 40 per unit
Cc = 0.1 of Cu = 0.1 × 40 = 4 Rs per unit per year
\(EOQ = \sqrt {\frac{{2D{C_O}}}{{{C_c}}}} \)
\(EOQ = \sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 50,000 \times 25}}{4}} \)
⇒ [EOQ = 790.569 units]
∵ EOQ > Maximum quantity that can be ordered at one
So, (TIC)Q = 600 \(= \frac{D}{Q} \times {C_O}\, + \,\frac{Q}{2} \times {C_N}\)
\((TIC)_{Q = 600 } = \frac{{50,000}}{{600}} \times 25 + \frac{{600}}{2} \times 4\)
⇒ (TIC)Q = 600 = Rs. 3283.33

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 10:
Which of the following statements concerning the basic EOQ model is true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Economic order quantity
Economic order quantity is that size of the order which helps in minimizing the total annual cost of inventory in the organization.
When the size of the order increases, the ordering costs (cost of purchasing, inspection, etc.) will decrease whereas the inventory carrying costs (costs of storage, insurance, etc.) will increase. Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is that size of order which minimizes total annual costs of carrying and cost of ordering.
The ordering quantity Q* at which holding cost becomes equal to ordering cost and the total inventory cost is minimum is known as Economic order Quantity (EOQ).
At EOQ:
Ordering cost = Holding cost
\(\frac{D}{{{Q^*}}}{C_o} = \frac{{{Q^*}}}{2}{C_h} \Rightarrow {Q^*} = \sqrt {\frac{{2D{C_o}}}{{{C_h}}}} \)
D = Annual or yearly demand of inventory (unit/year)
Q = Quantity to be ordered at each order point (unit/order)
Co = Cost of placing one order [Rs/order]
Ch = Cost of holding one unit in inventory for one complete year [Rs/unit/year]
if the total ordering quantity is less than the EOQ quantity, then the holding cost is less than the ordering quantity.
