Answer:
8 orders per year
Explanation:
Annual demand, D = 2,000 units
Ordering cost, O = $50 per order
Holding cost, H = $3.20
[tex]Economic\ order\ quantity(Q)=\sqrt{\frac{2\times D\times O}{H} }[/tex]
[tex]Economic\ order\ quantity(Q)=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2,000\times 50}{3.2} }[/tex]
= 250 units
Hence,
No. of orders per year [tex]=\frac{D}{Q}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2,000}{250}[/tex]
= 8 orders per year
