The Talbot Company uses electrical assemblies to produce an array of small appliances. One of the assemblies, the XOminus01, has an estimated annual demand of 12 comma 000 units. The cost to place an order for these assemblies is $650, and the holding cost for each assembly unit is approximately $30 per year. The company has 260 workdays per year. Required:
What are the annual inventory holding costs if Talbot orders using the EOQ quantity?

$1,975 per year

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate Economic order quantity using the following formula:

Economic Order Quantity = √2DO / H  

Here

A is Annual Demand which is 12,000 Units.

O is Ordering Cost per order $650 per order.

H is Holding or Carrying Cost per unit per year is $30 per unit per year.

By putting values, we have:

Economic Order Quantity = √(2 * 12,000 * $650) / 30 = 131.66 units

Now annual inventory holding costs can be calculated using the following formula:

Inventory Holding Cost = Average Inventory * Holding Cost

Here,

Average Inventory = EOQ /2 = 131.66 / 2 = 66 units  

By putting values we have:

Annual Inventory Holding Cost = 66 * 20 = $1,975 per year

his average speed in km per hour is ≈ 55.4 km/h and about 15.4 m/s.
