What extra cost does the hospital incur, which it could save by using the EOQ method?

Respuesta :

Answer:The extra cost is$ 0.72

Explanation:

Using the formula √2DCO/CC

Where CO = ordering cost per order

D = Demand per annum

CC = carrying cost or holding cost per annum

Demand = 1000*52 = 52,000 per annum

ordering cost = $15 per order

Holding Cost = 15/100*52,000 = 7,800 per annum

√2DCO/CC

√2*15*52,000/7,800

√1,560,000/7,800

√200

= $14.14

Extra Cost wiil be

900*52 = 46,800 per annum

√2*15* 46,800/7,800

√1,404,000/7,800

√180

13.42

Therefore the extra cost is

14.14 - 13.42

= $0.72
