Hi Sir,
In the following question about EOQ the idea of the cost of capital was introduced so how can we incorporate the the cost of capital in the EOQ calculation?

$10
Chief buyer’s salary per annum
$30,000
Total number of orders placed per annum*
1,000
Annual storage costs per unit

Cost of capital 10% per annum
*Relates to all product lines, not just this one.What is the economic order quantity for this inventory item?

D 400April 25, 2023 at 8:01 pm #683526I explain this in my free lectures on inventory control.
The interest cost is an additional holding cost (of in this case 10% x 480).
