Answer:

Order size = 50 cars

The number of orders=25

Explanation:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.  

It is computed using the formulae below  

EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch  

Co- Ordering cost, Ch- Carrying cost - D- Annual demand  

EOQ= √2× 1000× 1250/1000= 50

Number of cars to be ordered per time, i.e optimal order size= 50 cars

Order size = 50 cars

b)

The number of times orders should be placed per year would be calculated as follows:

The number of orders = Annual demand/ order size

The number of orders= 1250/50 = 25

The number of orders=25
