    Could you please explain how to calculate the cost of holding in the following question.

    A company has demand for 50,000 units p.a.
    They produce their own units at a cost of $30 per unit, and are capable of producing at rate of 500,000 units p.a.
    Machine set-up costs are $200 for each batch.
    Stock holding costs are 10% p.a. of stock value.
    Calculate the Economic Batch Quantity.

    the answer is 2722 units

    The holding cost is 10% of stock value and is therefore 10% x $30 = $3.

    Have you not watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
