The maintenance department in Ranchi Hospital uses 816 cases of liquid cleanser annually. Ordering costs are $12, carrying costs are $4 per case a year, and the new price schedule indicates that orders of less than 50 cases will cost $20 per case, 50 to 79 cases will cost $18 per case, 80 to 99 cases will cost $17 per case, and larger orders will cost $16 per case. Determine the optimal order quantity and the total cost.
The primary objective in determining the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) for an item is to:
O minimize the quantity of the item ordered from the supplier each time.
O minimize the annual total inventory cost for that item.
order the item from a supplier located in close proximity.
O maximize the time between orders.
O find a quick and easy way to answ

Material Z is consumed evenly over the year and the current usage is 120,000 units. The material is purchased in boxes and each box contains 12 units of material Z, at a price of RM252 per box. A safety stock of 200 boxes is kept. The cost of placing and handling orders is estimated to be RM6,300, which is based cost incurred for similar orders that have already made. The cost of RM6,300 was for 30 orders. The inflation of 2 per cent should be added to the above ordering costs. Besides, the company estimates to be charged the transporation cost of RM15 per order. It should be assumed that ordering costs change in proportion to the number of orders place. Other costs which relate to material Z such as insurance, interest and space costs for a year, were calculated at 15 % of the purchase price. Required: a. Calculate the order…arrow_forward
