Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
For computing the total cost of ordering cost and the carrying cost first we have to find out the economic order quantity is shown below: Â
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
where,
Annual demand = 5,000
Ordering cost per order = $5
Holding cost per bag per year = $20
After solving this the units is 50
Now the total cost is
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit Â
=5,000 ÷ 50 × $5 + 50 ÷ 2 × $20
= $500 + $500
= $1,000
