holding these goods under this system?
b) Determine their economic order quantity and cost of ordering and holding goods using
the EOQ.
c) Form the ratio of the order quantities under the old policy and EOQ. Form the ratio of
the EOQ to the old order quantity. Then form the ratio of their total system costs under
the two ordering policies. Average these two ratios and compare this number with the
ratio of the old total cost with the total cost under an EOQ policy.
