Answer: $6,800
Explanation:
The following can be deduced based on the information above:
The annual requirement will be the weekly demand multiplied by the number of operational weeks. This will be:
= 600 x 50
= 30,000 Bottles
Then, the number of orders will be the annual demand divided by the order size. This will be:
= 30,000 ÷ 500
= 60
Then, we calculate the ordering cost which will be the number of orders multiplied by the ordering cost per order. This will be:
= 60 x $30
= $1,800
The average inventory will be the lot size divided by 2. This will be:
= 500 / 2
= 250 Bottles
Then, the holding cost per unit will be the price multiplied by the percentage of the holding cost. This will be:
= $50 x 40%
= $50 × 0.4
= $20 per unit
Holding cost of thenverage inventory will be the average inventory multiplied by the holding cost per unit. This will be:
= 250 x $20
= $5,000
Therefore, C&A's total ordering and holding cost per year if C&A orders 500 bottles at a time will be:
= $1,800 + $5,000
= $6,800
