Solutions to Chapter 26 questions




EOQ = 2DO / H Solution IM 26.1
Demand (D) = 90,800 units
Ordering cost (O) = £5,910/30 × 1.02 = £200.94 per order
Holding cost (H) = £20 per unit × 15% = £3 per unit
2 × 200.94 × 90,800
EOQ = � = 3,448 units (349 boxes)

where D = total demand for period = 12,500 (3,125 × 4)
O = ordering cost per batch = £5
H = holding cost per unit in stock for one year = £0.5
Therefore
(2×12,500×5)

Annual ordering cost = Number of orders × £5
12,500
= × £5
500
= £125
Annual cost of holding stock = average stock × £0.50
500
= × £0.50

= £125
Therefore minimum annual cost = £250 (£125 + £125)
(ii) Quarterly sales of 781 units
Total demand for period = 3,124 (781 × 4)
Therefore
2×3,124×5
𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 = �� 0.5

, Quarterly sales of 6,250 units
Total demand for period = 25,000 (6,250 × 4)
Therefore
2 × 25,000 × 5
𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 = �� � = 707
0.5

The EOQ formula shows that the optimum batch size varies in proportion to the square
root of total demand (sales volume). Therefore when quarterly sales are 781 units, sales
volume changes by a factor of 14 compared with (i). Consequently the optimal batch size

changes by a factor of 1
2 ( 1

= 1
4 )
When quarterly sales are 6,250 units, sales volume increases by a factor of 2. Therefore
the optimal batch size increases by a factor of 2 = 1.414 approximately.
(iii) For an explanation of the economic batch size √(2DO/H) see ‘Determining the
economic order quantity’ in Chapter 26.
Solution IM 26.3 The cost of placing an order when the component is purchased is not given. This can be
obtained from the EOQ formula:

Purchase cost 20,000 × £9 = £180,000
Storage 1,400 × £0.25 = 350
Ordering costs 10 × £25 = 250
Direct labour 20,000 × £6 = 120,000
Direct material 20,000 × £2 = 40,000
Leasing = 2,400
163,000 180,000

It is cheaper to make the component unless the released facilities have some alternative use.
If this opportunity cost is greater than £17,000 per annum then it will be cheaper to buy the
component. Note that direct labour is assumed to be a variable cost. The qualitative factors
arising from the direct labour force being made redundant should be considered if the
component is not made by the company.
