    Purchase price: $15 per item
    Carriage costs: $50 per order
    Ordering costs: $5 per order
    Storage costs: 10% of purchase price plus $0.20 per unit per annum
    Annual demand is 4000 units

    After calculating holding cost, am getting $1.7 per unit.
    But am not getting the answer for EOQ, after putting this figure in the formula.
    Please tell me if i have rightly calculated the holding cost?

    Yes – the holding cost is $1.70 per unit.

    So for the formula:
    Ch = 1.70
    Co = 55
    D = 4,000

    So the EOQ = 509 units

    (Surely there are workings for the answer in your book? If not, then you should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – they have answers and workings)

    Am using a revision kit & i don’t have the detailed answer. Thank you very much for the answer. i was using $5 only as Co. I couldn’t make out carriage (transport) cost is included in the cost of ordering.
