A company will begin stocking remote control devices. Expected monthly demand is 750 units. The controllers will be purchased from RCD supplier offering price breaks for quantities. RCD's price list is as follows:Quantity Range Unit Price
0 to 249 17.00
250 to 499 16.60
Above 500 16.10Given that ordering cost is $30 and annual holding cost is 0.25 of unit price per unit, provide the following results:
What is the feasible quantity?
What is the total annual ordering cost at this quantity?
What is the total annual holding cost at this quantity?
What is the total annual material cost at this quantity?
What is the total annual cost at this quantity?
What is the most economical quantity to order?
What is the savings in total annual cost at this quantity?

A company will begin stocking remote control devices. The annual demand is 9,000 units

Providing  the following results:

Annual demand, D = 750 × 12

                            = 9,000 units

Ordering cost, s = $30 per order

Annual holding cost, h = $0.25 per unit

            so Q= (2.D.S/h)1/2

              = (2 ×9000 × 30/0.25)^0.5

                        =367.42

*feasible quantity is 500 and above as per Q

*Annual ordering cost = (D/Q) ×s

                                       =(9000/367.42 )30

                                           =734.7

*Annual holding cost = (Q/2) ×h

                                      =(367.42/2)0.25

                                          = 45.93

*Annual cost of material = D × C

                                        =9000 × 16. 10

                                           = 144,900

*Total annual cost=Annual holding cost+Annual ordering cost+Annual cost of purchase

                            = 145,681

Holding costs are the costs associated with storing unsold inventory. The costs of running a business include storage space, labor costs, insurance, and the price of damaged or spoiled goods. Minimizing inventory costs is an important supply chain management strategy.

Why is cost of holding important?

Maintenance costs are important. Because the brand indicates how long they can keep those items in stock before they are no longer profitable. It also helps brands maintain optimal inventory levels by knowing how much to buy and sell to meet demand without overstocking.

Is the cost of holding  a fixed cost?

Since there is no direct relationship between cost and quantity, carrying costs are considered fixed and allocated to inventory. Companies that use volume discounts tend to have higher storage costs because they need to buy in bulk and store for long periods of time.
