- The annual demand for a particular chemical product is 1,200 units. Suppose that the annualholding cost is $24 per unit, and the ordering cost is $100.Part A: Find the optimal order quantity based on EOQ analysis, and calculate the combinedannual ordering and holding cost.Part B: Now suppose that the store manager finds out that the demand has been underestimated.Specifically, the correct annual demand is 1,500 units. On the other hand, due to operationalrestrictions she cannot change the order quantity and thus use the same order size from part A.How much this error cost the store?
