what is meant by buffer inevntory?? buffer inventory is 700 components. annual holding cost per order is 3. EOQ is 1500 components. materials usage is 28000 components.what is the total annual cost of holding inventory of components?

Buffer inventory is another word for safety inventory. It means we hold extra inventory (over what we actually need) just to be safe. In your question, the average inventory is 1500/2 (as usual with an EOQ of 1500) + 700 (the extra that we are keeping all year) = 1450 units. To get the total annual cost multiply this by $3
