Answer:

Economic order quantity will be 2000

So option (B) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given order quantity is 1000

Order quantity is given by [tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2DO}{H}}[/tex], here D is demand, O is order and H is holding cost

So [tex]1000=\sqrt{\frac{2DO}{H}}[/tex] ........equation 1

Now order is doubled and holding cost is halved

[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2D\times O}{\frac{H}{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]EOQ=2\sqrt{\frac{ 2D\times O}{{H}}}[/tex]

From equation 1

[tex]EOQ=2\times 1000=2000[/tex]

So economic order quantity will be 2000

So option (B) will be correct answer
