Need help

A company uses components at the rate of 500 units per month, which are bought in
at a cost of $1.20 each from the supplier. It costs $20 each time to place an order,
regardless of the quantity ordered. The total holding cost is 20 % per annum of the
value of inventory held.
What is the total annual cost?
A $120
B $240
C $7,320
D $7,440

D 7440

Where did u get that question from?

EOQ (Q) = square root of( 2*20*500*12/0.12*1.2) = 1000 components

total annual cost = Purchase cost per unit*demand per anum + ( cost of placing one order*Demand per annum/Q) + (cost og holding oe unit for one year * Q/2)

= 7200(20*6000/1000) + (0.24*1000/2)

= 7200 +120 +120 = 7440
