    the total cost of ordering and holding sugar is $1,000 per year

    Explanation:

    Step 1 Calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ).

    EOQ = √ (2*Total Demand*Ordering cost) / Holding Cost per Unit

    = √ (2*250*20*5) / 20

    = 50

    Step 2 Calculate the total cost of ordering and holding sugar

    Total cost = Ordering Cost + Holding Cost

    = (250*20) / 50 * $5 + 50/2 * $20

    = $500+$500

    = $1,000

    Therefore, the total cost of ordering and holding sugar is $1,000 per year
