Answer:
200 units
Explanation:
Given that
Carrying cost per unit = $2
Ordering cost or setup cost = $40
Annual demand = $1,000
In this question we use the economic order quantity formula which is shown below:
The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{1,000}\times \text{\$40}}{\text{\$2}}}[/tex]
= 200 units
So by considering the economic order quantity we can find the lot size i.e 200 units
