Arnav Liu · Answer 1

optimal order is 2000 gallons

Explanation:

Given data

annual demand D = 10,000 gallons

annual carrying cost H = $0.75 per gallon

ordering cost S = $150 per order

to find out

What is the optimal order size

solution

we will apply here optimal order size is

optimal order = √ (2DS/H)

put all these value here

optimal order = √ (2DS/H)

optimal order = √ (2 (10000) 150/0.75)

optimal order = √ (3000000/0.75)

optimal order = √ (4000000)

optimal order is 2000 gallons
