Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Order costs for pepperoni = $10.00 per order
Carrying costs = 4 cents per pound per day
Lead time for each order = 3 days
Pepperoni itself costs = $3.00 per pound
Total Order = 80 pounds of pepperoni
Demand rate = 20
Total ordering cost = Total order × cost per order
= 80 × $10
= $800
Length of an order cycle:
[tex]=\frac{Order\ quantity}{Demand\ rate}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{80}{20}[/tex]
= 4 days
